Found conflicting advice on this.
i'm about to fit a parrot car kit to my Mk 1 C5 Exclusive.
I don't have a radio manual with the car - does it have a radio code. I don't want to disconect the power to find I need a code.
Thanks
Graham

I've disconnected my battery plenty of times and never needed a radio code.

Definitely no radio code on any C5 models.

Re: Mk 1 C5 Radio Code ?
C5 radios are coded to the car... This means that if you disconnect it, theres no need to enter a code, but you do need to wait after a connection for everything to sort its self out.
Its also a good bargaining tool for a breakers who think you need to obtain a code, If you have a lexia with a friend, then the car only needs connecting up and telling that you have swapped the radio...

Re: Mk 1 C5 Radio Code ?
When fitting the Parrot kit do not take the power from the radio. Take the +12V ignition power from the cigarette lighter socket and the permanent 12V supply from the 12V accessory socket behind the gear lever. If you use the radio supplies the BSI will detect the power drain and the car will keep going into eco mode.
