Several cheat databases agree on the table above.

Is There a Money Cheat in GTA 4?
No. GTA 4 has no money cheat and no phone number for cash. Any site that lists one is wrong or describes a mod.
Here are two real ways to earn money.- Stevie’s Car Thefts: Deliver 30 requested cars to the garage. GTA Intel reports about $33,000 for a clean Infernus. Cars in good shape pay more.
- Vigilante missions: Use a police car computer to start them. Criminals you stop often drop cash.
Do GTA 4 Cheats Disable Achievements and Trophies?
Some do, but not all. A cheat blocks only certain achievements, and only until you reload a save.
- Max health and armor block Cleaned the Mean Streets, Finish Him, One Man Army, and Walk Free.
- Both weapon cheats block Cleaned the Mean Streets.
- Clearing your wanted level blocks One Man Army and Walk Free.
- The Annihilator also blocks One Man Army and Walk Free.
Reloading re-enables them, according to the cheat databases we checked. The safest plan is to save before you use any cheat and keep a clean save for achievements.
