  • Hi, would be grateful for a code for my Renault Laguna 03 :

    Model No 22DC229/62M
    Product No FD0001350015857

    Other numbers are:

    TOX577
    RN229F10015857
    8200153737TX577

    I have the code 3573 in the book but it doesn't work, so I think someone must of changed the radio before I got the car.

    Thanks :)

    The correct radio SERIAL NUMBER is required for a code

    It usually begins with M or V followed by SIX digits ...such as M654321 or V654321 so the numbers quoted are incorrect

    Sometimes pressing buttons 6 & 1 together or 6 & 2 will display this number

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

    Sorry....will only be available from the Main Dealer or the unit will have to be taken into a Radio Decoding Service to obtain this code

    It will not be available for free or cheap from anywhere on the Internet

    You will have to remove the radio and quote the correct V or M Serial Number found on a label on the radio casing.

    See PM message for removal advice
  • Just had my car repaired, and they disconnected the battery. The problem is I don't kno wth code, can anyone help?

    Model is 4500 RDS
    M 116811
  • Hi everyone, I see you are great at getting codes for radios, I think I am a bit more stuck than that. I pressed 6 then held down 2 to get the serial number M010554 on my Ford Fiesta's radio.
    Trouble is the rest of the time the display says "locked 10" whenever I press the number buttons to try to enter the code (which I got off a free website - no idea if it is trustworthy so if anyone else can give me a code to try I would be very grateful!)

    Any other ideas also welcome as I've been told so far that I will have to go to the dealers and they will charge me which seems a bit unfair as it was locked like this when my husband bought it from his employer.:o
