Replacement 207 car radio

Unread post by pobmorris1958 »

Hi There,

I have installed a replacement radio in my Peugeot 207. I was told that I would need a pin code, which I obtain from an online provider.
Once I received to code I connected the radio. Surprisingly, the radio came on straight away and didn't ask for a code. Despite the radio working it bleeps every few seconds. Can anyone help me please?

Kind Regards

If you paid for a pin code then you were ripped off. The radio needs to have the VIN of the new car uploaded to it. As long as it has the VIN from the previous vehicle it will beep.

A Diagbox is the easiest way to do this but it may be possible with other high end code readers.
