I want to disconnect the stereo on my 1999 Xantia today, in order to fit a hands free Bluetooth device. Is it coded? It's a standard Xantia stereo with a disc shuffler in the boot. My previous Xantia (1994) had a coded stereo, but I read somewhere that the newer models are coded to the VIN number, or something. I received no documentation with the car, so I would like to know what to do before I disconnect it...
Cheers,
Mike

Some dealers will do it for free, others may charge. Alternatively you can try independants to give you the code from the radio serial number.
I did buy a program for doing this myself but as yet it's been,,,,,,useless!! If you wish to try it pm me the serial number of your radio and I'll see what it churns out.
Have you pulled the radio out to see whether it's been written on the side of the radio?

I've not done anything yet - I wrote the code on the side of my old Xantia's stereo - I think I'll check that, and get back to you with the serial number if there's nothing else written there - thanks...DickieG wrote:Some dealers will do it for free, others may charge.
