Had a new battery put in at Halfords yesterday and hoped that radio code would be preserved - unfortunately not. With the help of 2 knitting needles have now extracted the serial number from the radio which is CL0401Y0170678. Is anyone able to help with the code to get my noise restarted?

Thank you but it would seem not :(

the only CLARION code available for free (using a serial number ) from anywhere on the Internet
is if your radio also has a BARCODE SERIAL NUMBER beginning with
C 7000000 + + + + on a label somewhere on the metal casing.

If not then it will only be available from your Main Dealer or a Decoding Service
or your local Car Radio / Audio Store who will connect a laptop to read/recode the memory chip (EEPROM)
inside your radio
