xantia radio code

Post by geoffb »

Can anyone help me to find the code for my radio. It is a 3035 and the model is PU-1561 A. The serial number is 0016535 and it has another number above the serial which is 96 279398 80 The radio was working when I bought the car but I had to get a new battery and now it needs the code putting in. Any help would be appreciated. Geoffb.

Hi Geoff,

If you send me an email address I'll send you a zipped file of programs that may give the code you need.

I can't send the file for some reason, I'll try looking it up myself. What's the make of it Geoff?

[-X Mike, you should try harder, that model is a Clarion according to google!!!

For Clarion it tells me to enter the last four digits of the barcode, if there are two bar codes, use the lower one :?

Using the last four digits of the serial number gives a code of 1163

From what I have learned on the forum about radio codes, it seems that they are a real can of worms to be avoided if at all possible... to date I have always used a second battery to keep the memos active when changing, or just leave the battery connected when changing alternators and take very special care about possible consequences.

On the rare occasions (checking aircon) that the car goes to a garage(!), I give strict instructions on the subject.

I've heard of people assuming the same of their units only to find they weren't following the correct sequence, but if you're upgrading, what will you do with the Clarion? 8)
