I have exactly the same problem as Karla with my Clarion car radio which came with my Peugeot 206cc new in 2003. I stopped to get petrol and when I turned the key back on the radio will play (and CDs) but there is a persistent beeping noise. I phoned the dealer, but he said it didn't need a code - he said it wouldn't go if it had no code and would say this on the display. Can anyone help so I can get rid of the beeping? I have locked it and unlocked, taken the battery lead off, but still have the beeping...

It will probably have to go to a dealer
The software used to match the vin number with your car's vin
A dealer will probably charge around £60 for half hour of work
It's probably worth doing if it has a built in display and volume and other functions are on the steering wheel
This usually happens if the unit is from another car like a Citreon picasso to another Citreon picasso
The stereo probably works perfectly well but the dealer will have the software to disable the bleeping sounds

Your radio does not have a radio code as such,however it will have your cars chassis number programmed into its memory.Sometimes a software fault can erase this number from the radios memory.Usually it can be reprogrammed using Peugeot diagnostic equipment.
