Radio Codes

I pretty new here so maybe I shouldn't criticize but I was disappointed to see someone looking up radio codes via VIN's and posting them. This completely defeats the purpose and eliminates any security.

How long do you think it will be before it becomes common knowledge among car thieves that they can obtain the code anonymously (sp?) with the click of a mouse?

It seems to be a real disservice to all owners.

I don't have a radio code for my 2002 ML320. So, are you suggesting that I should drive 75+ miles with my car to the dealer to provide ownership proof before I can get my code for a radio I can buy at the junkyard for $100 with the code? Forums are about helping people. Sorry you feel that someone is threatening your theft security by posting codes.
