I phone the Renault dealer here in Iceland.
They said they could get it for me after a long interrogation about me actually being the owner.
Man they actually think you would steal a 2x6w philips casette unit these days Laughing

They had to send a query about this to Renault in France and as of now im just waiting responses.
Hope it works out Wink

Is the code any of these numbers ?
I know 77 00.... is the renault part number
Also that BP... is the serial number

But what about that FD number?

Ps. this is a radio i took out of my RT 1.8 parts car eariler this year.
So trying that FD number isnt easy untill i install it Wink

get on ebay and buy sumat at least 4x40 u wont regret the difference in sound u will get

if i buy it on ebay i have to pay shipping to Iceland, customs + VAT
So it doubles or triples in price Wink

But anyways, none of the codes, either backwards or otherwise worked.
Tried all the three Renault stereos i have.

I'll just have to call the dealer again on Monday.

wtf are you talkign aboiut?

if the codes 1234 you put it in as 1234 then press 5.

You don't then put it in backwards, or when you face south east during a lunar eclipse.

I mean ffs!

i think they mean the code is 'hidden' in some numbers on the back of the stero.

I.e. ISBN 88-9810

You put the the last 4 digits in, but in the opposite order.

Giving you 0189 Laughing
