I bought a fiat seicento a couple of months ago and the fuse for the radio was removed. I now need to re-enter the code into the stereo. However, i was not supplied with the users manual when i bought the car, and i don't have the code. Is there any other way of fixing it other than visiting the fiat dealer where I need to pay £25 to fix it?

Hi,

Sorry but you need to visit a dealer or car audio specialist to have the code reset.

Have you tried contacting the previous owner for the code card?

Going to FIAT is likely to be your best bet. But so you know, the FIAT dealer don't fix it for £25. They simply fax your chasis number to a building somewhere (HQ?) and then a fax comes back with the code.

We had to do it once, thankfully I've got rid of the pile of rubbish now!

for twenty five quid!... local dealer charged 12 or 15...
for that sort of money you could add on another 75 and get a half way decent cd player for the car..
