Important! : standard headunit code?? HELP!! - Saxperience

UKtom · 1st June 2011, 22:34

hey, just sold my standard headunit to someone on here, they received it today and plugged it in and apparantly its coming up with 4 error on the screen..

is this common? is there a simple fix? what can i recommend for him to do in order to fix it?

also does anyone know where the reset button is?
any help would be hugely appreciated!
thanks

It's not a problem. It's a feature it's the only security it has. Your going to need to call a dealer and find out what they need to give you the code. Probably the vin number. Oh and what they charge to give you it.

Unless you have the wee card it's written on that should be with the handbook.

Wont matter i dont think mate! The card should have a number combination on it i think, and if not it may be under a scratch off panel(some fords have this!)
So yeah either mail him the number or post him the card!

hey i am the guy who bought the radio ><. it comes up with 4 error but i can't find the reset switch

UKtom · 2nd June 2011, 09:29

will give citroen a call when i finish work, if not ill pay them a visit tomorrow morning to try and sort this out!

you should have a 4 digit radio code on the card. This remains no matter what car its in. There is no reset switch to turn it off. If you enter it incorrectly 3 times from memory it locks you out for a certain amount of time. Or just unplug the unit again

im still waiting for someone to reply to tell me if its the right card lol, i will double check back here when i finish work at 6, if it is that card then ill PM you the number

Most shops who unlock phones will unlock car radios also for around £10 mate i know the little asian shop up my way does it so ask around will probs be cheaper than going to citroen

Dilkesy · 2nd June 2011, 11:03

mate how will anyone reply on here. If you have had only one standard radio then that code will be right. Just scratch it off give it to me and if it doesn't work then oh well. It won't be the end of the world if I put in that code mate. and I am not spending any more money on a radio that i paid for to be working, not come up with this crappy 4 error.

the card isnt for radio. i thought same then was told it was for key transponder, but again wrong its something to reset the airbag with or something after a crash so citroen told me???

trying my best to resolve the problem here bud, no need to get shirty.. seeing as it doesnt look like i have the correct card, i can either refund you the money if you send it back to me (minus postage costs) or can wait until tomorrow and ill go to a citroen dealer to sort it out?
PM me..
