Abstract: We give a general construction of coded systems with an automorphism group isomorphic to $\mathbf Z\oplus G$ where $G$ is any preassigned group which has a ``continuous block presentation'' (the isomorphism will map the shift to $(1,e_G))$. Several applications are given. In particular, we obtain automorphism groups of coded systems which are abelian, which are finitely generated and one which contains $\mathbf Z[1/2]$. We show that any group which occurs as a subgroup of the automorphism group of some subshift with periodic points dense already occurs for some synchronized system.
