Ive just bought a renault clio, but the radio's locked =/ it requires a 4 digit code to unlock it.

The previous owner doesn't know it, and everywhere wants to charge me £10 - £20 just to find out =D

Does anyone know how to get radio decodes for free?

ive got the serial number/product key.

I know it sounds like stating the blinking obvious but.......Try Google

i've tried google =( the only ones i could find for free, were FORD codes.

might end up having to pay £10 to listen to my own CD player. LOL

S'only £10 ?

That or you could go through the process of

1111
1112
1113

etc etc etc

I'd Spend the money mate

£10 - £20 is better than buying a new stereo though

have you looked in the manual you get with the car, you normally find that in the glove box . or they used to put it on the back of the stereo, probally dont now but worth a look

i used 2 work for a car and van rental company and when we got deliveries of new vechicles the radio code was on a sticker either in the manual or stuck to the inside wall in the glove compartment! hope that helps m8!

if none of the above work- try sticking it in the freezer- some units unscramble the code that way-

Or the opposite is true sometimes, microwave it for 5.26 minutes....worked once..

5.26 minutes...very precise...i think that is only kenwoods.... alpine units need 6.14 minutes.

lmao

i dunno about microwaves but i know the freezer one works with some units-

haha =D.

Ok, i've checked under radio, in book that came with car, in glove compartment, everywhere. Guess i'll have to pay £20 to listen to my cars own cd player LOL.

Thought it was 10, went on the site that SAYS it's £10 earlier, and turns out my model is £20. ridiculous!

thanks anyway guys.

£20 get ure hand in ure pocket lol, then u can have the code forever lol
