The Philip's R570 is working again, thank you

I had an old 80's Ford Stereo that had been sat unused in the garage for 15 years. Managed to power it up but code locked out. Googled these guys but was very sceptical. Ford forums had used them before and were genuine. I entered the serial number and the code came back instantly. Put it in the car and boom it worked. Couldn't believe it and it only cost a fiver.

Bit dubious at first. But got the system working. Well worth the money.

Further information on decoding your Smart car radio.

Using our Smart radio decoding system, you are not only saving money, but also time and the hassle which is involved. Most vehicle main dealers require you to book in your vehicle and take the car and proof of ownership along before they apply for the radio code.
Usually the code will be based on your vehicle registration or Chassis number which can mean you are not getting the code for the current unit fitted to the car, especially if the radio has been replaced at any stage in its lifetime.

There are a number of reasons why a stereo code based on the vehicles chassis number or registration may not work, these include:

The radio was changed under manufacturer warranty.
The car stereo was changed for an improved model, i.e. tape to CD player.
A used car dealer changed the head unit at time of sale on request.

At Radio-Code, we provide radio codes based on the unique serial number of the car radio, regardless of what it was fitted to originally. Our radio codes have proven to be more accurate than main dealer's because of this.
