The majority of Audi codes are very difficult/impossible to calculate
Try code 1339
If this does not work then unfortunately your code will not be available for free from anywhere on the Internet.
Main Audi Dealer or a Decoding Service only
Thanks for the info, I'll give it a go. Just incase it doesn't work, can you recommend a decoding service?
Cheers

hi, can anyone tell me the code for my Ford radio please. Just spent 400 on a new clutch and they took the battery out!!
Serial number is: M003752

There is only one barcode (and unfortunately without numbers). In the label with the barcode I've found the numbers 286-849726 and 9634676680, but I'm afraid none of them is the code you need.
Thanks for your help anyway

I have just booted my pc into Vista and tried the FordM.exe program. It complained that it could not find file msvbvm50.dll
So I copied this file from the XP folder c:\windows\system32\ to the folder containing FordM.exe
It now works fine as do the other Ford decoders (Ford ALC.exe & FordLC.exe)
Hope that helps.0 -

The best option, if possible , is somewhere like your local Car Radio / Audio Shop where you can take it in and they will read it while you wait using a laptop + dump reading software.
It will take them 5 minutes and they will charge £10 upwards.
Ebay or a Google search can give you alternatives....but you will have to pay postage (both ways) which makes it rather expensive.
You may be able to "blag" it for free or cheap from your Audi Dealer (but I doubt whether you will be successful as they think that owners of these prestige makes of car can afford to pay their usual high prices !....but it`s always worth asking )0 -
Thank you - that's sorted it. Brilliant0
