Okay, I've gone & done something moronic, misplaced the stereo manual (with the code on the back cover ). Is there any easy way to get the code or do I just buy something new?

Dealer will get code for small fee/get it decoded/buy something new/sing.

any idea how much of a fee?

Depends on dealer,some might do it for free others between £5-10.Decode is around £10-15 depends where you go but might do damage.
Phone local dealers...& tell them how wonderful they are

my dad lost his code for his audi and audi done it for free

Yes, with a bit of charm, the Fiat dealer will do it free.

You'll need the serial number of the radio though, as the code is generated from it using a fancy algorithm.

Or you can do it yourself online - for a fee.

(MkI Puntos tended to have Philips radios, MkIIs Blaupunkt)

Radio code is obtained from reg/chassis number through the ISR.

Just post your stereo's serial no, year of make and model & I'll try to help you.
