    Your radio is made by CLARION and the only CLARION code available for free (using a serial number ) from anywhere on the Internet is if your radio also has a BARCODE SERIAL NUMBER beginning with
    C 7000000 + + + + on a label somewhere on the metal casing.

    If not then it will only be available from your Main Dealer or a Decoding Service or your local Car Radio / Audio Store who will connect a laptop to read/recode the memory chip (EEPROM) inside your radio

    Hello again and thankyou for your reply. I do indeed have a barcode serial number beginning with c7000000++++ It is
    C70000002155 There is also another barcode number C6CBS0983573.
    Look forward to your reply. Many thanks, Brian

  • Hi I have a Ford Transit Van and the radio is asking for a code and all I did was replace the fuse.

    I dont have the forks you use either side to pull the radio out to look at the radio as the van is second hand and I only bought it a week ago.

    I found a number its probably wrong C821BN0303!

    Its a 5000 series.

    Any help much appreciated.

    I'd appreciate any help given, my radio serial number is M129478 from a Fiesta, just had it serviced and they didn't put the code in. Wonderful service.

    Serial Number should start SN followed by a letter and 6 numbers - eg SNM000111

    You should be able to get it without removing the unit - hold down '6' and press '2'. If that doesn't work, try holding '6' and then '1'.
