    Hi, the battery was disconnected from my car and I cant find the radio code - I wondered if anyone could help. I dont know how to take the radio out to get the codes, is there any other way? Its a 2000 Grand Cherokee Jeep tdi 3.1ltr. On the front of the cassette radio all it says is Auto Metal R.D.S EON. I know im being vague but it has to be worth a shot!!!!

    Thanks

    Hi
    I've got a code for a Vauxhall CDR500 (E) S/N GM050082613309 which I've got for a 2000 Zafira.
    However, the CD player won't respond to any pressing of buttons - even the on/off button. It's new, but is it faulty?
    Thanks in advance

  • Hi,

    I can't find the serial number in 1998 Ford Ka. I have a 5000 RDS EON stereo. Do I need to buy DIN tool to be able to get behind the stereo.

    Please please help you all sound like stars to me.... and of course you know that when I find the s/n I'll be asking for help with a code.

    Thank you v much

    Have just a had a look, you SHOULD not need the tool. A couple of slim screwdrivers or wire coathangers and a bit of 'juggling and fiddling around' should do it. Just take it easy 1 side a little at a time, you may hear a slight click.
    Have you tried pressing 2+5 or 2 +6, this sometimes shows the serial
    Have PM'd you a link to look at
