    Thanks for you response, even though it's not what i was hoping for :P

    Is there a generic rule as to which radios can/cannot be decoded or do you just find out after you've tried decoding the serial on your software?

    Thanks
    There are no set rules...it depends on the radio make, model and age

    eg


    Vauxhall VDO radio codes require the Dealer's database ....but

    Vauxhall Blaupunkt radio codes can be calculated here using software

    Thank you, I have to wait for 30 minutes to put it in (is this normal? just bought the van and there is an isolator as it was loosing charge) so will be tomorrow before i can try.
    Any WAIT 30 means that the last code entered was incorrect so is now semi-locked.

    It will have to be left switched on without interruption for 30 minutes to reset

    Hi Trackman,

    The battery was replaced on my Ford Focus and the radio doesn't work. Could I have a code for my 6000 CD/radio. The serial is M655094.

    Many Thanks,

    Rob.
