Father had to change battery in his 00 clio and as a result the radio has to be recoded.However the radio is looking for the code,but the display does not show 0000 to begin.Is there a way to set the radio to 0000,any suggestions? P.S I have the correct code but cant input it.
I had similar problem with a radio in an Astra, i had the code but couldn't imput it. As it turned out you had to press a certain button for 20 seconds to activate the code screen. I had to ring a main dealer for the know how.
Every radio has it`s own unique code. There are many sites on the net who will get your code for you if you give the serial no. of radio or chassis/(vin) no. of car.Most will charge a few squid for it but some give it free.The one I used (for free) was http://radiocode.proboards6.com ,but it seems to be down for maintainance at the moment.
That was posted 16 years ago...and it wasn't working back then, likely as technology was changing to make it more difficult for car thieves to bypass this security control. Talk to the dealer, the vehicle VIN, proof of ownership and radio serial number will likely be required.
