    Hi there

    My car battery recently died on me. Upon replacing it, it would appear as though I need a code to unlock the radio. Are you able to provide me with one as the silence is driving me mad. The details of the radio are as follows:

    Manufacturer: Philips
    Model: CCr 600
    No: 09 181 229
    Serial: GM0600X1163313
    Other no: 9022 214 06759 00, 003 9939 1163313, WA009939
    Car: Vauxhall Astra Mk4

    Thanks.

    This is a CLARION radio and the only ones that can be calculated on these free Help Boards is if it has a barcode beginning with 700000******
    If yours has one of these barcodes then please post all the digits

    If i dont have the barcode otside the car stereo. Is it possible to find it inside the car stereo?

    :D Thanks
