Have held number 6 and pressed 1 got number come up 50702000. But have no number begin with m. Is there anyway of getting the unlock code plz can someone help him. He is 82 and misses his music.
The unit will have to be removed from the dashboard to find the correct Serial Number as you only have 1 attempt left before it locks up altogether....and will cost a small fortune to get it unlocked .

===================================
Here is a video showing how to remove a standard radio from the dashboard.
A pair of extractors are required (available from Ebay etc ) but these can be made from 2 pieces of bent, wire coat-hanger or 4 small drills(using the blunt end) or 4 small Allen Keys or 4 small screwdrivers or 4 nails or even 4 darts.
An assistant is useful to pull the radio out whilst you are releasing the 4
securing clips
