Looks like an interesting site, failing that, any local i.c.e. shop should be able to pull the codes out for you.
I went to ICE in Harlow, when I needed the code for a Philips set in a Cavelier I had, and they charged £15.00, and it took them about 30 seconds to get the so-called "security" code out for me.
I don't know what they did but it with a P.C.

Try 1451. Let me know if that works. 4554 is also a possibility.
Some stereos need to be hooked up and others can be calculated from the serial number.
My calculating software has worked twice (out of two) on Fords but I've never tried the Clarion decoder before. Gotta be worth a try though.
If anybody else needs a code let me try first before going and spending money.

That link describes what should happen when you turn the set on. Maybe you need to leave it powered up for half an hour or so, that's sometimes the case after a wrong code has been entered.
