Radio Code

[kuulteach]

I recently changed my battery and need to reset my smart car radio where do I find 4 digit code

With a bit of luck someone will have written it on the car's handbook. Otherwise you'll need to contact a main dealer for the make of your car and fork out (probably around) £15 to get the code.

Alternatively you could try an online service, such as this one:
http://www.radio-code.co.uk/
However you need to be aware that online services require you to provide the radio's serial number, which you can only get at by removing the radio from its mount. (Without special tools, that can sometimes be rather tricky). A main dealer can usually provide the code directly from the vehicle's VIN (assuming, of course, that it's the original radio that the manufacturer fitted into the car), so you won't need to remove the radio.

If you have the car serviced at a main dealer you may find it on an invoice. My radio code was printed on invoices for a Renault I once owned

Probably in the user manual.

Failing that, then Dodgy Dave, Epsom Market, any Thursday afternoon.

Thanks I've just tried they gave me 0000 and said all cars have that (they don't)
Thanks anyway

If they are resettable and never have been, then it's probably have something simple. Do they lock after a number of tries ? If so don't guess. If not try 1234 maybe ? Read the manual.

If you don't find your radio code in the handbook ( should be on something that looks like a credit card ) then there maybe something on this link that may help you.
