As far as I know, your dealer can unlock the region code. But you loose every right of guarantee.

You have to contact with your local dealer. This is chargeable operation - you should not loose the guarantee.

Also, I was informed by my B&O technician that there is a limit of 5 region changes. After that it locks permanently. There is no region-free or region 0 option.

Not true.

I had a BC2 and it was re-coded to Region 0.

I think officially this is not supported even though some dealers may workaround. The modified Beo4 comes to mind. I think the issue is more that some dealers may not know how.

The BC2 can be set to Region 0 and play all DVD regions by your dealer. This is regardless of version II or III. Usually your dealer will charge a minimum fee for this opertion. In Denmark it is about USD 200.

You will not loose your guarantee by this operation.

I am not aware if  you can do this yourself using the Beo4 or Beo5 but I doubt it is possible.

Hope above is helpfull.

In Holland, the dealer can rent this modified Beo4 from the headoffice. 20 seconds work. It's about 40 euros.

Any update?

I am looking for free my bc2 region too..

It would be great if someone with this modified Beo4 used a Lintronic device to decipher the codes that are sent. Then we could all easily do this with a Beo5.
