It will be recorded by the dealer who supplied the car to which it was fitted, when the car was new. Your chances of tracing that are very slight! I suppose you can go through all the 4-digit (or whatever) codes until you find one which works - but that could take a *long* time. Many radios make you wait for progressively longer times between attempts if you keep getting the code wrong. ISTR something about putting the radio in the freezer to make it "forget" its code - but I've no idea whether that works. -- Cheers, Roger ____________ Please reply to Newsgroup.

GCE 7109 CD The manual makes no mention of codes, I'd only expect them with a factory fitted radio http://www.manuals365.com/pdffile_dl.php?brand=Goodmans&lang=&cat=&doc=GCE71 09CD.pdf But it does have a helpline phone number. |

He certainly seems to have a high success rate with his crystal ball for radio codes. Further discussion is pointless until the OP has asked there. -- Ian |
