You will need to leave it powered on for a god few hours i have found to get it to the stage where it allows you to put the code in :)

In xantias you can move the fuse over to allow it to be powered on without the key in the ignition though im not sure if its the same for a ZX.

Buttons 1 - 4 correspond to each line.
Press each button until the line turns to the number you want, so 1201 means press button until you get 1, 2 until you get 2, 3 until you get 0 and 4 until you get 1, then press 6 for enter.

Assuming it's the same operation as mine; As long as you're not locked out, press and hold the BND button to get to the CODE input stage.

I got my code from a dealer. One I approached wanted £15 for each code, radio, key and security. £45 :shock:
You may get the radio code with just a phone call.

I went to a different dealer, with the V5 for proof of ownership and was quoted £15 for the three. He gave me the radio code and said he would have to get the other 2 when Citroen opened on monday.
I said fine, could they phone them through?
No problem sir.
I'd better pay you now, then.
That's ok, have them on us. :D

Not all dealers are the same.

Depends which Clarion it is - Is it the Clarion from aSeries 2 car? With CD Changer control?? If so, then the CHIP that holds the code needs reading, which I can do...

Or, alternativly, spend about 20 quid from a dealer getting it read out...
