HELP! Clarion radio

Jan 29, 2006 3 Replies

Hi, I left my lights on while at work about half a year ago; clever me I know. Needless to say the battery went dead and I had to jump start it.



The radio was asking for my code, so I put in the code I had; which had previously worked. This time though, nothing. Doesn't seem to like that code anymore; I've tried it several times now.



I'm probably going to buy another radio, but I thought I would try this as a last resort. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.



Thanks.



You could try disconnecting the battery again and leave it for a few minutes before re-connecting (like re-booting a computer to clear the memory). If that doesn't work you will have to wait for the more knowledgeable people on the group.

Hi

If your 100% sure that the code you have is correct then maybe you have corrupted the 93c46 serial eeprom that contains the code inside the radio. If your model of radio is a PU9664 or PU9990 then you could possibly use this utility to decode it.

If you have an EEPROM programmer then its quite a simple job to read out the code if you don't have one then pay the £10 to get it decoded locally. There are always adverts in the Auto Trader etc.

Cheers Keith and CB... I'll let you know how I go. Thanks!
