Radio Audio 10 with RDS Code

[Preeces]

Hi there,

I have a ML270 CDI on a 51 plate and just had the battery replaced and now need a code for the radio, unfortunately there is no card with the code.

I can't get the radio serial number but my VIN is WDC1631132X752370, I'm hoping someone can help.

Many Thanks
Stephen

Try the main dealer. They should be able to provide you with the code. They've done it for me in the past.

Try the last 4 numbers of your VIN

Try the last 4 numbers of your VIN

That would not work. The code should be five digits, the last three XX142 and the VIN ends with 52370.

Thanks, your spot on, how did you know about the 142?

Just a good guess, there are only 1000 different options for three digits.
Seriously, these come from the MB database, I'm not willing to discuss any details, I hope you understand.
