bloke on ebay is offering to prog a radio to the car if the vin number is supplied.
got me thinking how can he do this ? the radio has no ports to hook up to a pc, is there a hidden manufactures menu ?

he most likely works at a dealership, so he just put the radio in a 406 and reprograms the VIN with their diagnostics computer

Oooh, I wander if he's also got any Genuine Parts for sale, you know........it happens to us all, you go into the Main Dealer for an Oil Filter and you end up buying a Clutch Kit for a 307, a light cluster for a Boxer Van, some random badges and trim parts for other models etc etc ....

But when you get home, instead of driving back there and getting a credit refund you sell them on ebay for a fraction of what you paid........ yes that's what you do that is.
