Have radio - no record of code.

Unread post by citroenesque »

Hi the radio in my Synergie works fine and obviously unless I disconnect the battery it' should continue to do so without me having to enter a code. However, I don't have a record of the code so is there a way I can obtain it? Would Citroen have a record of it? Or is there something I can do with the radio powered up and working?

Thanks! I've contacted them, hopefully they'll be able to help.

The last couple of times I've asked dealers for codes they've been able to give me them.

I got the Key code and the radio code for a Xantia from them not so long ago.

Worked fine I now have the code. Not that I'm going to use it, hopefully, but it's there if I need it :)

Good, I spotted that the other day on ebay, thought it was a fair price and noted it, and only a day later it was useful.

For anyone else reading this you can enter a barcode number from the unit into a calculator program to obtain the code. There are many places to download for free.

My xantia came without the radio working and have been looking for a way to obtain the code BUT.
I dont know if its the original radio,It has stamped on the radio KA 07.
I thought this maybe a date code 2007 possibly.
My xantia is an N reg 96 so is it likely to be the wrong radio.
Stenasev my radio has a barcode but has no ones or zeros on it so the barcode system would'nt work on this would it.

Hi,

Not sure of the details but I think the barcode you need is on a sticker on the unit. This sticker easily peels off so may have been removed or lost if the stereo has been in and out a few times for any reason.
I have only been a Citroen owner for a few days and was pleased to find an easy solution when I changed my battery and then realised I had no code!

It has the barcode on the sticker which is still in place but the ones and zeros are not printed with the barcode.
