    Firstly make sure you have the right code
    to unlock it; try holding down the button 6 on your radio whilst switching your radio on, this should give you 3 extra attempts to enter the code.
    if this does not work then switch on the ignition AND the radio and leave undisturbed, 9 times out of ten this will clear it, downside could take up to an hour

    But lets get back to the serial number
    Where?how did you obtain this number?
    Did you remove the radio from the dashboard.??

    Press 1st button repeatedly i.e 9 times
    Press 2nd button once

    etc
    When your code is displayed 9130 press 5th button
    6th button is not used.


    Ps its a question that we are asked very often
