    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

    Many thanks, I will get the torch out now and go take a look.

    I'll let you know how I get on.

    Thanks again :beer:

    OK, just taken a look. The barcode is C70000001644.

    Is this enough?

    Many thanks
  • Dear RegWorts

    Hi,disconnected my battery to do some welding assuming that the radio code would be in among all the literature in the glove-box......WRONG!
    Please has someone the correct code for serial no. MO24081?
    Thanks.
  • Please help me with the code I need to enter for my old Fiat Punto to get the music back.
    I found the following codes at the back of the radio:

    22DC449/64L
    9022 214 49644
    M/CH 058335
