    todolistsocd - I went down to the car to have another look and the stereo itself says it's a 6000 model... I had got the serial number etc from the manual that I got with the car so it looks like it HAS been replaced. Now, how do I get the stereo out to look for the serial number! I have tried (being a girl) to force it out with two kitchen knives......

    Hi,

    I would say don't try to enter anymore codes until you get the stereo out.

    I am sure you could try a metal coat hanger, see if that works!
    If you can get it out, come back with the M serial and we'll sort you out.:)

    But a wire coathanger works well. Cut the hanger at the corners to produce two loops.
    Push well into the two holes ( 3 inches??) then push wire sideways slightly and pull loops towards you.

    thanks

    and also, im not sure if this works on every car but if u want to save time getting the radio out, hold the number 6 for five seconds then press 2 (whilst holding 6) to get your serial number
