after disconnecting y battry to do a little work i realised i didnt have the code as the dealer neva supplyed a manual after still waiting 3 months so didnt have the code. rand the up this morning to get a snotty bloke sayin i would have to take my car up and it would take 30mins. then he says i will have to pay a charge of £21. my car is only 2005 and i thought they would be supplyed is this correct.
the code should be in the handbook as you suspect.
However even if you had the handbook, many were not filled in.
One tip worth trying, is remove the radio yourself as many had it written on the label on the stereo!

how do you remove the original radio ive got the plastic spacer out but nt sure hw 2 pull the radio out
there is likely to be a couple of small holes, or slots, you need to put something in those to hold back the clips to slide it out. At least most stereos are like this.
WTF they should be able to do it with the reg/chassis no. what a joke 30 mins to find the radio code?!
yup said they would have to hook my car up to the computer then said they may not find out the code the computer will jst fix it. that mean they want 21 pound everytime u disconnect it resulting in not been able to do any work on your car its a joke!!!!
i took my radio out last week and moved it to the bottom empty slot..plugged it back in..no code..
rang orginal dealer..said i bought it 2nd hand off his customer....code given to me...took him like 30seconds to pull it up on the pc....
so for 1minutes work u tell ur dealers to stop been
and give u the code...
its a recession
so he will want repeat business...so should be nice to you..if he says no then ring the next local dealer...someone will give it too you DO NOT PAY FOR IT....ITS YOUR CODE>>>YOU OWN THE CAR AND ITS RADIO....NOT THEM

But rang a previous dealer and had to fax V5, chassis number etc. as proof of ownership and they sent me the code.
Like you say...you might be better off getting a new MP3 Alana stereo from ebay.

finaly sorted for free. funny how they suddenly change there tune after you say youve rang seat its self and are going to lose your business
Ha ha! Nice one they must think some people are stupid, I give out radio codes for trucks at work all the time, some of the vehicles have so many computers on board esp fire trucks and we have VCADS (like VAGCOM) but you don't need that for a radio code just need the chassis number and type it into the correct program
