STOP !
We Can Decode This Radio Via E-Mail !
Clarion PU-9667A (as Fitted to Citroen)
The Security Code number on this model is determined via a series of soldered links on the top of the
main circuit board, and rather than send us the unit and incur extra courier charges, if you inform us of
the sequence of soldered links, we can calculate the Security Code number for you. If for any reason we get
the code number wrong, then we will require the unit back here at our workshop to be reset and recoded,
which will incur an additional charge on top of what has already been spent.
But so far, this method has proved 99% successfull, if you follow our very simple steps below.
You will require a screwdriver for this as a small amount of disassembly is required, but before you start
to panic, if you have managed to get the radio out of the vehicle, then the hard work has already been
done!! Only the top cover plate needs to be removed.
This is held on by 2 Phillips screws on the top :
Now carefully prise off the top lid, so as not to distort its shape, you should now see the main circuit board as shown below. You are looking for a set of ten solder pads as shown on the picture. For orientation, the fascia should be to your right. Now these are not all exactly in a straight line, but once you have identified them, you will understand what we mean by this.
The pads are made up of an upper and a lower section, and will look roughly like this shown below.
Some will have a blob of solder linking the upper and lower pads, and its these blobs and their locations
that we need to identify.
If you assume an open, unsoldered link to be a 'Zero 0' and a blob, or soldered link to be a 'One 1', then with the fascia towards your right hand side, and reading the links from left to right, you will end up with a ten digit code made up of 0`s and 1`s. For instance this series of links would give a code of 0111001100
By now you should be able to work out your own ten digit number from your own series of links. Write this
number down carefully, as we will need this to supply you with a Security Code.
If you go back to the main Decoding page for this radio, you can now order a decode by pressing the
'Add to Cart' button on the appropriate page. Follow the checkout procedure as normal, and when you have paid
for the Decode, there will be an order number shown at the top left of your final page. Now send us an E-mail
quoting the order number, your radio model number and your ten digit number you have just read, and we will
then calculate your four digit Security Code number and E-Mail it back to you.
Once you have reassembled your radio, and put it back into the vehicle, you are ready to reset the penalty
timer, and its my guess that when you switch you stereo on, you will see four numbers on the screen and no
matter what you press, they still keep showing! This stereo is codelocked!! If this is the case, leave
the unit switched on for at least two and a half hours and the penalty timer will expire, and then try
to enter your code again. If it doesn`t clear after this time, send me an E-Mail!
To enter your code number follow this link and the procedure will be shown on the main decoding page for this stereo.
