When these units were first introduced Sony did say they would replace them
after theft as long as you could present the IR remote control to them.
They might still offer this?

Hi guys (n gals)

I am looking to buy a Sony CDX-M 850MP, I think it is a model that has the
non removable flip front. The front flips around and darkens out to show
just a black panel in the car.

Does anyone know what sort of security (from theft) this offers?

I know kenwood used to offer (and still do... I think) a scheme with face
offs where if the radio was stolen they would replace the unit as long as
proof of purchase was available, and the face of course. If I remember
correctly they also offered a similar guarantee with the 'Mask' range.
Does
anyone know if Sony offer a similar scheme.

Thanks
Stephen
