    Is there any way I can find my radio code.
    I need to disconnect the battery and don't have the code.

    Thanks in advance.

    I got mine by contacting the original retailer of the car. Having said
    that, I understand that many 406's do not need to have the radio re-coded
    after battery disconnection because they are keyed to the ECU and
    re-activate automatically if they are on the same vehicle.

    I believe it is true that later (2001) on)models are programmed to the
    ECU.
    If you have an older model, you will need the VIN and radio serial
    number, take to Peugeot with your log book and they can find it for
    you (costs about £10). Or find a local auto electrician, they often
    have computer equiptment that connects to the security chip and tells
    you the code.

    Get out your Yellow Pages - your local car audio place will be able to
    recode it for £10-£15.

    I bought one of those gadgets from Halfords that you plug in the cigar
    lighter socket and it keeps settings in the memory.Having said that
    after a few months I managed to get it from the previous owner.
    The gadget did it's job well though.

  6. Mine's a 1999 model and doesn't need the code re entering. I have had the
    radio out at least twice and just plugged it back in with no problems.
