  • Hi there,

    My stereo is also Locked and I'd love to know the code for it.

    I can see that I need to know the serial number - how do I do this?

    Thanks :)
  • Ah, after some extensive research I have discovered that I need to remove the stereo from the car.

    Do I need specialist keys to do this?

    First thing to try , find a wire coat hanger.
    Cut off the two corners, allowing at least 6 inches on each arm.
    Bend wire until you can insert both ends into the ( same side) holes
    Same with other piece of wire.

    Push into holes firmly ( they should go in number of inches.)

    You now have a radio with a couple of loops sticking out.
    Push loops outwards and wriggle.
    Radio not you , gentle pull.

  • I got the Stereo system out, and as far as I can see the serial number is:
    M012484

    Thanks for what you've done already and thanks in advance :)

    How will I be able to enter the code which you give me? Currently the stereo displays a 'LOCK 10' message whenever I turn it on.

    hold in button 6 while switching on the radio unit.
    the display will change from lock10 to CODE.

    ( found out on another forum , does it work??)

    Then your code is 6141
