Hi guys,

Bought a renault clio around about 2 month ago, some electrical things werent working with the car, so took it back to the garage where i bought it. the car got fixed but when i went to turn the radio on, it asked for a code, which the dealer didnt have. Would be greatly appreciative if anyone could help, if i need to give anymore information (e.g. serial numbers or codes on the radio itself) ill be more than glad to get them

Thanks for your help!

The radio has to be removed from the dashboard

Then quote the 14 character SERIAL NUMBER beginning with
RN* * * * * * * * * * * * found stamped in the metal casing.

Also quote the SECURITY NUMBER. This is found on a label on the metal casing in the format TOA123 or TA123 or just A123 at the end of a barcode

If in doubt post ALL the letters+numbers on any labels or barcodes

Here is a video showing how to remove a standard radio from the dashboard.
A pair of extractors are required (available from Ebay etc ) but these can be made from 2 pieces of bent, wire coat-hanger or 4 small drills(using the blunt end) or 4 small Allen Keys or 4 small screwdrivers or 4 nails or even 4 darts.

An assistant is useful to pull the radio out whilst you are releasing the 4
securing clips

note: on some radios , these 4 holes are protected by 4 small screws. These
can be unscrewed using the appropriate size of Allen key.
