W203 Audio10 CD - radio code?

[Han]

Hi,

I'm getting a Parrot BT phone kit fitted, and the fitter has asked if there's a code to the radio - the handbook doesn't mention it at all. Any ideas whether there is a code to the radio? I don't want to take it out to find out!

Cheers

radio code

If you take car in to a dealer with Log Book and your Passport [Names have to match] they will phone you a couple of hours later with it - No charge when I did it

seemingly its hard coded into the car and doesnt have a code.

The W203 audio systems are not coded. they rely upon seeing a signal on the Canbus. No canbus == P R O D being displayed on the screen. You should be able to disconnect it and reconnect it without worrying about it!

True no code. Just had my phone fitted at my head office (bang opposite mercedes hq in Milton Keynes) he went over the road to ask for codes (nothing in my book) and they said the same.

Is this the same for W208 CLk's fitted with Audio 10? ie no code required?

Radio handbook indicates that there is a code but the dealer who sold us the car told us that no code required?

No its not. Audio 10 units in W208 CLK's require a code. COMAND doesnt though.
