    Sometimes pressing buttons 6 & 1 together or 6 & 2 will display your Serial Number

    Otherwise remove the radio from the dashboard and post the SERIAL NUMBER found on a label on the casing

    It usually begins with M++++++ or V++++++

    If it's M then post the serial, if it's V then they are NOT avail free online.
