I disconnected my car battery to charge it,when i reconnected it the stereo has asked for a code which i dont?
Answers:
If you can post up the make, model number & serial number here, I can give you the code.
write it down !!
you can buy codes off ebay or look up on line if you are good and finding stuff
the code should be in the service book, or books that came with the car. It happened to my car and thats where i found my code.good luck
I went to car electrical outlet and the charged me £12 to have it sorted.
You wont do that again will you.
buy a new stereo
The original outlet will have the number and will give it for free. If it still has its original number plate the dealer usually puts there name at the bottom. I have done it many times with vauxhall
My daughter's car has the same security set-up for her stereo (apparently it's to prevent the stereo from functioning if it is stolen.) When she bought the car used, the previous owner gave her a CD which he had chosen as his "key" to the stereo; all she has to do if the code is requested by the system is insert the CD; the car reads it as a password, and the stereo system is then enabled. Did you happen to get a CD with the car when you bought it?
it should be in your users manual under something like audio. my mum does it all the time and its in her manual.
As a last resort,you could try placing it in a bag,then leaving it in the freezer over night.
It may work,or it could be one of those "urban myths"
It should be in the owners hand book, but if you have a second hand car I suppose it is not there, try asking the last owner, or as the other guy said the net, you will need to know your serial number I think or have the car documents at the ready. I do think £20 is a lot it only cost me £8 for my Opel / Vauxhaul
any good car radio supply \ repair shop should be able to decode it for you , but try the original supply outlet first , or look in the manuals , do not try guessing it as after about 6 attempts it will lock out totally
Haven't you got your stereo manual? If you can't find it, you can always buy a new head unit off e.bay. Its easier as most after market ones don't need a code.
It is definaltley in the book under audio. dont get ripped off they will probally look in the book also . good luck
I had same problem with my Rover, I got in touch with a local Rover dealer, proved it was my car (log book) & they got me my Radio code within an hour
So my suggestion is contact a Peugeot dealer & see if they can help
My BMW came with a special wallet card that has the serial number and code for the stereo, in the event the battery is disconnected. Your vehicle should have such information in the owner's manual or within the original documents that came with the vehicle. If you can't find it, you will need to take your vehicle to the dealer to have it rectified, but it will cost you. Hey, we all live and learn.
contact the local car dealership's parts dept.
