What car
What radio

Car radio calculators are free on any torrent website.

The more modern radios require the cars chassis number to decode however like fords do.

Hi,
what year 407 ?, mine is a 55 plate and have no problems when the battery has been disconected.

You shouldn't need a code, these radios are usually coded by the VIN number to the car.

If you take it out and try and fit it to another it works but makes an annoying bleeping noise every two seconds.

It sounds to me like you've not performed the BSI reset when reconnecting your battery:

Put the driver's window down, lift the bonnet and ensure all equipment is switched off.

Ensure all doors are closed and remove key from the ignition.

Wait for 3 minutes, disconnect the vehicle battery and wait 15 seconds.

Reconnect the vehicle battery, wait a further 10 seconds (do not open doors.).

Switch on the side lights through the driver's window.

Switch on the ignition and check system's functionality.

Hold lock button on key down for 10 seconds.

Remove key open & close door test central locking system.

Start the engine and complete the system's check.

hi thank for ur help. ive tried the way u told me and it made no different. i done know if im doing it wrong. also mine is a 55 plate. j

Is anything else working on the multi function display?

everything work on muti function display. just not the radio.

One of my grandkids left a door open in my car and the battery drained completely flat after 2 days.
I had to replace the battery but the triple A (equivalent of your RAC) also had to input codes to get the whole system up and running again.
I would suggest calling the RAC. They should have the equipment to do the job or at least diagnose why the radio isn't working

Have you looked in the vehicle handbook? Might be written down.

had a look and no note of the code in there. do u still have to put rhe code in even when it doesnt ask for it.

Have you looked under the drivers side sun visor.
Just a suggestion ;-)

May be a phone call to a Peugeot Dealer would help?.

Regards

Angel.
