Many modern car stereo systems have built-in anti-theft facilities ranging from removable front panels and displays to security coding and even complete removal of the radio from its cage. In the case of the security coded sets, originally pioneered by Philips, a special code number (a copy of which is contained inside a microchip within the radio) must be entered before the radio will operate. The idea being that if the radio is stolen, it cannot be used unless the secret code is known, so there is not much point in stealing it in the first place.
This idea in itself is quite a good one. However, there is a downside in that people do tend to forget their code numbers, which does not usually present any problems at first - until the car battery goes flat. It is then that the problems arise, people entering wrong codes into the radio causing it to lock up etc. The fact is that most radios need decoding for perfectly legitimate reasons and not because they have been stolen!
Our company has been involved in the servicing and repairing of car stereo equipment for many years and we quickly realised the need to be able to decode a radio before it could be serviced. It soon became apparent that similar companies all over the world must be facing the same problems, so, it was decided to manufacture an expandable decoding system to suit individual requirements. The Joule A-400 decoding system was designed specifically for this purpose, not only to read security codes and reset the time locks but also permit the changing of these codes if required. For instance, the code number of a customers radio could be changed to the last few digits of his/her telephone number - a number that would probably never be forgotten.
Another feature of the A-400 is its ability to fully re-program the code chip within the radio. This is very useful when the data stored in this device has become corrupted causing improper operation of the radio.
It is also possible to program blank memory chips. These devices could then be supplied to service departments that do not have their own decoding equipment.
Here in the UK, the A-400 car radio decoding system has become a standard piece of test equipment found in many service departments and other small businesses. Several units have also been supplied to the Police who are now, in many cases, able to return stolen car radios to their rightful owners by using the security code as additional identification. |
