All 6000CD radios can be decoded by serial number.

If you need the serial number, you need to remove the radio from the dash using this tools -

Halfords Radio Release Tools

The process is very simple - just insert the tools until they click in to place then pull on them and the radio will come out, like so -



When the radio is out, the code will be on a sticker on the side or top, this is a Ka radio but same idea.



Code is on the bottom of the 'AUDIO SYSTEMS' sticker and starts with the letter M.

Take the numbers and put them in the decode tool - http://www.pumapeople.com/decode.php

To enter the code, turn the unit on so the display reads 'CODE - - - -'

Use the buttons 1 to 4 to enter the code.

Press button 1 repeatedly until the correct first digit of the code is shown on the display.

Then press buttons 2, 3 and 4 in the same way for the remaining digits, until the correct code is shown.

When the code is correct hold down button 5.

nice

Thats a nice bit of script there.

Brilliant idea to add to the site works well.

[happy-kat]

Works well and handles non conforming data politely

Does the code not start with o if so then it 8 times then 6 time (using your example)?

[Ian G]

The one in my post isn't using the serial in the pic.

You state

Use the buttons 1 to 4 to enter the code. If the code is 7531 -

Press button 1 seven times.

Press button 2 five times.

This is not correct, if you have no code entered, you get four - - - - the first number would start with 0, so your example above 7 therefore press 8 times second is 5 therefore you need to press 6 times, and so on.

I thought zero was at the end?

[gaznlou]

Nope it starts with 0

Easier to put the same as the Audio Guide shows:
"1. Press button 1 repeatedly until the correct first digit of the Keycode is shown on the display."
"2. Then press preset buttons 2, 3 and 4 in the same way for the remaining digits, until the correct Keycode is shown."

May be worth also adding how to insert the Vehicle Identification Number (VID).

[gaznlou]

Yep agreed Rick.

Just done one now, started at 1, zero was at the end.

Does this stereo model support a subwoofer and amplifier ? I'm going to buy a Pioneer TS-WS206A with built in amplifier. Do you think it will fit ?

This is fab, thanks alot Ian

What about codes starting with 'V'. I just bought my daughter a Ka and the unit is a 'V' serial number, not the 'M' in her audio manual, although it's a proper Ka CD6000Aux.

Thanks.

[MandyM]

It's V001868 if you can help.

Thanks,
Mandy

Brilliant, got me out of a hole after I had to remove radio and then realised I didn't have the code. Thanks
