    this code is not working i have 3 more attempts Serial no: M174754 model 5000 RDS part numer 97AP-18K876-LA would there be another serial number any where else on the radio i think it could of been tampered as it looks like its been opened up:(
    Have re-checked, that def code for that serial.
    Did you take serial from the radio? If so then chances are it has been RE-CODED in the past.
    If you switch the radio on and leave UNDISTURBED, could take up to an hour, then that will reset it.
    If the radio has been re-coded then afraid you will have to use a Decoding Service or your local Car Radio / Audio Shop (who are normally the cheapest option) who will connect it to a laptop to read/recode the memory chip (EEPROM)

    No:eek: no need to lock it first. It sounds as if it has def been re-coded, afraid nothing you can do with it. looks like it's off to local decoder:(

    Hi there,

    I need a code for my VDO CD413X stereo (Rover 75). The numbers on the back of the unit are:

    VDCD3042017663
    XQE000930PMA
    A2C53099315

    I'm not sure which one is the actual serial.

    Thanks in advance!

    Sam
    Unfortunately the majority of SIEMENS/VDO codes (including yours) will NOT be available for free (or cheap) from anywhere on the Internet as access is required to the original factory database…which is not commercially available..

    Try your Main Dealer or a Decoding Service or your local Car Radio / Audio Shop (who are normally the cheapest option) who will connect it to a laptop to read/recode the memory chip (EEPROM)
