At the main menu or while the game is paused, select the "Under The Hood" option. Choose the "Sponsor Code" selection, then enter one of the following case-sensitive codes to activate the corresponding cheat function. If you entered the code correctly, a message will appear. The cars will appear when you enter a junkyard after earning the required license. Note: Some codes require a PlayStation Network connection. Also, the ability to enter sponsor codes is not available after the v1.6 patch.
Use the following trick to restore the code entry feature. Although codes are not necessary for some cars, other cars (for example, Steel Wheels) are only available with the code. Backup your saved game files on an external memory device (for example, a USB flashdrive). Delete the "Game Data" for the game in your Xross Media Bar browser. This will force the game to revert to v1.50. Disable your internet connection to prevent the game from auto-updating. Restart the game, load the saved game file, and enter the desired sponsor codes. You can now restore your internet connection to patch to the newest update and keep the newly unlocked cars.
