Hello there,
have bought fabulous '99 Clio but battery replaced and code doesn't seem to work. I have got 8168 written in the book, have tried to key in numerous times and it just resets to 'CODE'. Have held button for 10 secs.
I realise you need my barcodes etc but ... ** girly question ** (Sorry!)
How do I get the radio out of the dashboard ....

Thank you ...

you need to remove the radio.
they are too small holes each side of the radio
use an old metal coat hanger 4 darts or very small screwdriver or long nails.
put into holes about 4-5cms and push outwards sideways
and carefully pull radio forward.
you must do the holes on each side at the same time

Then post the numbers/letters from below the main barcode
something like 7700xxxxxxtt123 or 8200xxxxtt123 or
the security code like Q123 or T0U123
can be found in a small box then i can help you
off of the radio

The number stamped on the metal side is
RN479FW9069977

the numbers from the top label are:
the barcode is 770426484
security code is T365

[those are the ones that tally with your suggestions...]

Thanks again...
LP

Thank you ... cannot get from 'CODE' to 0000 ... am now in cumulative time-delay situation, i'm guessing. tried pressing on stalk but it doesn't get me from CODE to 0000. Even disconnecting battery doesn't get me back to 1 min then 2 min then 4 min delay for reset. So... will try again with 6660 when 0000 shows up again ...
Will let you know asap but many thanks for your replies this evening, much appreciated.

Please note that code entry is only possible when a number is flashing in the seperate display. If the display continually shows "WAIT" then the unit may be codelocked and will need to be left switched on up for up to two hours to reset before another code entry attempt is possible.
i have send you a message
