Security Code on Clarion

[MearCat]

I recently purchased a Clarion CD player from a local Police Clearance auction (they sell stolen & unclaimed goods direct from the Police Dept). I tested the unit last night and all channels, CD and radio work fine but after but after 5 minutes, the word CODE is displayed on the screen. Of course being from an auction I don't have the security code.

The model number is PM-2308U-A, and it looks like a unit that was supplied as a standard unit with a new car but have no idea what type of car.

Is it possible for anyone to aid me with this problem? Or am I stuck with a dud? :lock: btw - I do have the receipt to prove it's not hot.

if thats the case ,the unit you descibed is from a mitsubishi of sorts - usually a lancer.) they are fitted locally here and if you take it to a service shop tell them where you got it and leave it they can get the code out of it. ( involves a call to clarion.)

Wow - I'm surprised how easy that was. I emailed Clarion directly and they gave me the code straight up.

what good is a code if its that easy to get it unlocked?

its probably a generic code tha most installers would know anyway unless you changed it

[Chris Rogers]

no they are all different. a calll to clarion with proof of purchase will get it.

I'm trying to refit one of these to my Lancer and have my code but no manual so don't know how to key it in. Can anyone help me with this.
