Need Help! 95 C220....

Hey guys,

I had the battery disconnected from the car a day and now I need the radio code to unlock it. I am not the original owner and the code is no where in the manuals. Is there anywhere I can find it? Can a MB dealer help me? I noticed there are a few places online that claim they can crack the codes if you provide them with the serial numbers of your radio. Has anyone ever tried these? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

The dealer will give it to you from your VIN.
I did it over the phone, but they sometimes request you go in person with id and car ownership.

Do you have any receipts from the dealer when the car was serviced? My dealership has the radio code printed on the invoice....I assume for the tech to use if needed.

Thanks alot guys. Unfortunately, I do not have any service receipts from a MB dealer. Car hasn't required any major service, and I take care of everything else. I'll try to contact a dealer later and see what they have to say. Hopefully it is good news.

Thanks again.

Just remember to keep the code in a safe place so you will have it when the battery is changed again.
