Mk1 leon radio code

[Leondave]

Hey guys. Ok so ive just bought a mk1 seat leon but the last owner has lost the standard radio code. Is there a code generator or something i could use to sort this as im going to to be musicless for work. Cheers guys hopefully someone can point me in the right direction its a aura cd head unit

No easy way of getting the code i'm afraid. Only SEAT,and they will charge loads, or maybe your local car audio shop may be able to crack/bypass it. I had the same thing and tbh you're best off just getting a new headunit. You can get some fairly good ones for around the £50 mark these days, will probably work out cheaper then messing about with that one. I've got a JVC one and the red illumination matches the car perfectly, looks OEM and sounds a shitload better than the aura.

Hi mate I had the same trouble when I bought my mk1 fr and luckily enough the code was on top of the stereo so hope this helps.

Cheers guys. I remember having a car with a coded radio years ago and the code was printed on a sticker in either the glove box or under the ash tray. Looked in both places and no luck. The radio is currently in safe mode which i think needs to be left on for a certian amount of time to be able to put the code in. Would i need a special adaptor loom or could i make one up? Im pretty handy with a soldering iron. Id just need the wiring code

There's a thread on here that tells u how to take it out of safe mode. And did u look on top of ur stereo for the code?

Ive had the radio out mark and had a look to see if its wrote on it anywhere but no luck. I think im just going to put one of the spare ones i have kicking about in it. Is it just a standard iso adaptor i need? Put a aftermarket stereo in a mates micra and the plug was wired different. Just dont want to fry any wiring. Cheers guys

 

[Markdj22]

Yes mate that's all u need

Cheers guys. All sorted. Put in a aftermarket one yesterday so all working now. I did have to swap the red and yellow wires over to store the radio stations but its sorted
