MG Rover's manual confirms that the Symphony is programmed at the factory with a four digit security code which will be required after disconnection of the power supply. However ...

... it also says that the security code function can be disabled. This can be done by the user without special equipment, but only after entering the correct code! Once disabled, the code function can be reactivated without having to enter a code. It's theoretically possible that your buyer accidentally reactivated the code function when connecting the radio to his car. If he then temporarily disconnected the power supply (perhaps because the wires were tangled), it would ask for a code thereafter.

Having said that, he should be able to photograph the LCD displaying 'CODE', as you say. The fact that he hasn't done that is suspicious.

Simon.

Thanks simon, that does seem a reasonable answer which i can accept.

Still suspicious that he cant provide proof though
