I think these are just a standard head-unit asking for a normal 4 digit code aren't they?

Now, if you were replacing the headunit in a Berlingo Multispace or C5, you'd definitely need a Lexia!

You might want to try The Birdman. He is a member of the forum, and seems to know all the necessary codes for every Citroen going.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the replies so far chaps, unfortunately it seems the radio has to either go in to have the eeprom read or for someone to consult the "List" of which radio clarion supplied for that chassis number, could be a trip to Citroen main dealer ho hum...last owner never had the problem as he never had the radio out or battery changed so that route for the radio code didn't work :(

Sean

edit - seems the simplest solution is the best, phoned the dealer that supplied the van originally and a couple of questions to verify that i had the whole van and was legal owner just gave me the code as well as a potted history so problem solved thanks tohttp://www.duthiesmontrose.citroen.co.uk/ =D>
