Security code recovery procedure
2 methods for recovering the pre-code (1 letter and 3 digits):
1 For PN type radios:
The pre-code is obtained by removing the RECEIVER and noting the four characters on the barcode that
follow the letter T (see photo no. 114936).
On older versions, note the series number at (B) and the pre-code after the letter T at (C).
2 For NR type radios:
The pre-code is recovered without removal, by applying the following procedure:
●Switch on the radio.
●Press and hold buttons 1 and 6 simultaneously for 2 seconds.
●The pre-code appears on the display.
Note: on NR type radios, the pre-code remains visible at (A) on the radio (see photo no. 114937).
4 methods for recovering the radio code (4 digits):
1.Only the VIN is available: connect to code management on Renault.Net and enter the VIN. The code server
gives the original radio code entered in the World Vehicle Database (BVM).
If the code has not been entered in the World Vehicle Database or is incorrect when the code is entered in the radio,
follow the procedure below:
2.The pre-code is available: go back to code management on Renault.Net, enter the pre-code and obtain the radio
code.
3.For older vehicles which do not have a radio pre-code, enter the series number of the radio again. For example, for
Philips radio, this code starts with RN. On the photo of the radio, the code is RN277F30194601
(see photo 114936 (B)).
If this code is correct, the radio will operate again; if not, follow the procedure below:
4. On Renault.Net, write a help message to be sent to the assistance unit.114937 114936
THE VIN MUST BE ENTERED IN ALL 4 SOLUTIONS
WHEN REPLACING PARTS, OR FOR AN UNKNOWN VIN, WRITE A HELP MESSAGE IN CODE
MANAGEMENT ON RENAULT.NET TO UPDATE THE DATABASE.

Anti-theft code
The radio is protected by a four digit code. This code must be entered via the control satellite or the radio keypad
each time the battery is disconnected.
Entering the code with the control on the steering wheel:
Press the lower button on the control to confirm an entry.
Entering the code using the radio:
Enter the digits using buttons 1, 2, 3 and 4, and then confirm with button 6.
If the code is entered incorrectly, the radio will be locked (1 minute for the first error, 2 minutes for the second error,
4 minutes for the third error, etc. 32 minutes maximum).
Some configurations must be programmed after the code has been entered for the first time (see configuration -
settings). These settings are stored when the battery is disconnected.
Reminder:
The radio will operate for approximately 2 minutes in scrambled mode without the code having been entered (with
regular warning bleeps).
If the vehicle is equipped with a CD changer in the front panel, a code is exchanged between the CD changer and
the radio.
–If a new CD changer is fitted, the radio code is programmed when the battery or CD changer is connected.
–If the radio is replaced, enter the security code of the old radio connected to the CD changer. The CD changer is
programmed with the code for the new radio.
–If the old radio code is lost, the changer code can be cleared using the clearing code. The clearing code is sent by
the Techline.
Note:
If there is a configuration error, you can return to scrambled mode by pressing the 2 and 5 buttons at the same
time as switching the power on. Then wait 2 minutes.
Note:
The CD changer is supplied uncoded. When it is installed in the vehicle, the CD changer is programmed with the
radio supply code.
Reminder:
The radio will operate for approximately 2 minutes in scrambled mode without the code having been entered
(with regular warning bleeps).

Self-test procedure
The self-test procedure mode of the previous generation radios (PN0-6) allows certain main functions to be tested:
●by pressing buttons 2 and 4 at the same time, the speakers can be tested. They are supplied one by one; the
display enables the connections and signals from each speaker to be checked,
●by pressing buttons 1 and 6 at the same time, the reception level can be tested (after frequency is displayed),
–9 or letter: good reception,
–
–less than 3: poor reception,
–if 2: total loss of stereo.
The self-test procedure mode of the new generation radios (NR4/5) enables certain main functions to be tested
using the combination of buttons 1, 6 and i. The messages will be displayed in the following way:
●Radio pre-code (one letter/three digits) displayed to avoid the need to remove the radio,
●speaker test with two beeps (bass - treble) from the speakers, with the tested speakers shown on the display
(front left-hand H01, front right-hand H02, rear right-hand H03, rear left-hand H04),
●displays the frequencies and levels of the tuner sensors,
●software version displayed, displays fault finding for the connected aerial if the aerial is supplied by a coaxial
cable; in this case, the display shows H15 with X = 0, 1 or 2 depending on the aerial status (0: open circuit,
1: short circuit to earth, 2: power consumption),
●audio test loudness OFF (H08), cuts any loudness for an audio test.
Note:
The source usage times in 1/6ths of an hour is also displayed (Tuner (H09)/CD (H10)/cassette (H11)/CD changer
(H12)/auxiliary (13)/MP (H14)/Total (H15)).
