Try putting citroen keypad, into yahoo or jeeves search engines, plenty of companys seem to be able to do this by posting the keypad unit itself to them, seems straight forward to them.
Never had this done myself though!!!!

happened to me recently and as far as i can remember I disconnected the battery. Leave it disconnected for a couple of hours and it will reset to the default code which is 1111. I think thats how i got over it. My problem was caused by putting in the wrong code and this locked out the keypad. Its worth a try.
Radio code is the same principle but a citroen dealer should be able to give you the code for that.

it wont do that,the orginal code must have been 1111.like said above the previous keeper will be on the logbook.if you are changing the ECU there should be no need to chancge the keypad aswell,hopefully it wont come to that though.i belive this guy decodes keypads www.dashfixer.com
