How can I re-code the simple Phillips radio/cassette from my car? Car was bought 2/hand.Wasn't given codes?

Battery had to be removed for a while, so code lost. Good little radio, use cassette occasionally. Don't want to buy new and more sophisticated unit.

In the hope of finding better help, here on YA, we would have needed the cassette player's model number, serial number etc.

I do know that many of the Philips head units can only be decoded using specialist equipment by reading the eprom security chips. Businesses that do this generally charge between £10 and £20.

However, if your unit falls into the category of being able to provide code through the serial number, then this website may be able to help you. (Never used it ,myself, but looks good)

Hope this helps you
