GTA 4 cheats
In GTA 4 you enter cheats by dialling a phone number on Niko's mobile. 482-555-0100 refills health, armour and ammo, 267-555-0100 clears your wanted level and 359-555-0100 spawns an Annihilator. Some cheats block certain achievements on that save, but none stop 100% completion.
How do you enter cheats in GTA 4?
Take out Niko's phone, open the keypad and dial the number as if you were calling someone. Every cheat ends in 555-0100 or a close variant. After you use a number once, it is added to a Cheats list in the phone, so you can pick it from there next time. The same method works on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

Do cheats disable achievements in GTA 4?
Only some, and only on the save you used them on. The health, armour and weapon codes lock achievements such as Cleaned the Mean Streets and One Man Army, and clearing your wanted level locks Walk Free. Weather and most vehicle cheats lock nothing. To get the achievements back, load a save made without those cheats. No cheat blocks 100% completion. This works very differently from GTA 5, where any cheat turns achievements off for the whole session.
