Standard headunit error code?

[MIKE-FORD]

I'm happy with my standard headunit as got a disc changer all connected up but after disconnecting the battery the error code has come up after putting what was the code given

Does Anyone know how I can sort this without paying out?

[C.A.R.]

What unit do you have?

If you have the one with the tape in the dashboard and a separate CD changer you can work it out using the following code and the serial number which should be on a label stuck to the body of the unit itself (will need to remove it from the dashboard with release keys / something pointy and two flat items from the cutlery drawer)

In this case, you take the last 4 digits of the lower barcode, 3 1 1 6

You now simply add 1 to the first number, 2 to the second, 3 to the third and 4 to the fourth.

So:
3 + 1 = 4

1 + 2 = 3

1 + 3 = 4

6 + 4 = 10

Any number that ends up greater than 6 can't be entered on the radio, so you simply subtract 6 from it. So in the above example, the last number is 10, which can't be entered so 10 - 6 = 4

The code in this example is 4 3 4 4

If it has the CD slot in the dashboard (Clarion PU2294) then I think you've got no option but to pay up...

It's the standard Philips tape player but has error 4 so
Not letting me enter no more codes?

[C.A.R.]

I think you may have to wait 24hours before you can try again...

Phillips?

I've only seen Clarion or Blaupunkt in 306s.

[MIKE-FORD]

It's a tape player

[MIKE-FORD]

This is what I have on mine?

[MIKE-FORD]

Anyone help me as tryining codes left right and centre and still not workin

[Toms306]

Turns out the one in my estate is also Phillips lol... Looked for code today, thankfully someone had written it on the casing. That doesn't help you much though.

[Matt]

i cant even remember which code it is, its like the last 4 digits of something

might be cheaper and easier to buy a cheap after market hu

[MIKE-FORD]

Yeah a mates just dropped of 3 headunits to me to try, just useless when comes to wiring them up as can connect them up but for some reason never have the memory :/

[Toms306]

You need to swap the permanent and swithed lives for an aftermarket radio! Its the red and yellow on the power connector. Or pink and white from the car side.

[Matt]

yep like tom said. most modern units come with bullet connectors to make this nice and easy

[MIKE-FORD]

Dw sorted there's a matey on a money saving site who gives codes for free and got mine

[Matt]

sweet deal, got a link for anyone in future?

[MIKE-FORD]

Yeah you have to register first then in the motoring section it's in there but here's the link to take you straight there anyways
