Radio Code
Hello.
I have just had my battery replaced as the old one was dead, so now my radio is asking for the code. The only problem is I can’ find it :S
I rang my local dealers and they said that they do not have/access to codes for cars that was not purchased from them ,and they would have to reset the radio. the question is . Is that true?
P.s. I can’t ring the original dealer as they have gone bust.

My radio code is on a label attached to the inside page of the Service Book. 
All of the details on this page should have been entered by the original vending dealer, before handing the vehicle over the the purchaser.
Have you had a look there?

All that is needed is the serial number and chassis number. To get the serial number, turn the set off then hold down presets 1 & 6 as you turn the set back on. An eight digit number will appear starting with either a 1 or 3. Either contact your local dealer and give them this info or give me a call on 0121 744 7744
Cheers

Thanks, but yes I have looked in the service book. there is a place for it, however it is not filled in. :S. I have also phoned my local deailer and they said that it needs resetting.
Maybe time to upgrade the radio. any thoughts? model etc?. as long as it has Ipod capability and works with the controls.

Check the inside front cover of the service book as it may be noted there.
