  • Hi,

    I am having a nightmare trying to unlock my car stereo, it took about a week of messing with a coathanger to get it (my cd player) out of the car to read the serial number, and now looking online I am quoted £20 for the code? Mental.

    Anyone able to get the code for a clarion cd player:

    CL0410z0185514
    PU-2325A(B)
    Peuget 206

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    The radio has to be removed from the dashboard

    Then quote the 14 character SERIAL NUMBER beginning with
    RN* * * * * * * * * * * * found stamped in the metal casing.

    Also quote the SECURITY NUMBER. This is found on a label on the metal casing in the format TOA123 or TA123 or just A123 at the end of a barcode

    If in doubt post ALL the letters+numbers on any labels or barcodes
