Your friend should have gotten the security code from the dealer when he bought the car new. Ask him to check in the binder where his owner's and warranty manuals are. Should be on a blue and white wallet-sized card marked "Radio card/CodeCard."

Problem is, since these new audio units are matched to the cars they originally came with, and you therefore never need the code with the original car, a lot of times the dealer forgets to provide the code.
