Hi, following a dead battery and a ecu lock out, I got eka and radio codes from dealer. Eka good, car runs and I resynced the keys.
I entered the code in the radio but it just stays on the screen. Is there another button to press? Have checked code with dealer but can't help with how to enter it. Lots of info available but I need to know which make of radio I have. Can anyone tell me from the images? I suppose this is the right radio for a 2000 4.6 but not the original serial number?

On mine, you press the 'next' button again

A clarion unit on a 2000MY is odd..

At that age they should have the Alpine unit..

Doesn't look like the factory unit, I have the same model P38 as you but the same radio as Henry B has posted so looks like an after market job.

Hi. I believe your radio is the "Clarion" make. Mine has the "Alpine" unit which was the one generally supplied as OE fit. Good luck with sorting it out. I'm certain that some highly knowledge folks will give you the correct info to get you sorted!

She has an early P38 Clarion unit fitted.

That is the one I want

That's the one I have in mine (MY2000), just press enter again.
I wish the unit had an Aux-in so I could "spotify" it with the phone.
I do have a cigar-lighter FM transmitter with BT to my phone but there is always interference and background noise.
I tried one of the dummy BT tape pick-ups but that just has a horrible "HUM" too.
Not interested in changing it out though, it's original.

That's the one i have too. I did wonder about retro fitting an aux port

Clarion highline unit is superb.

Update,there appears to be a site on the web that provides codes by inputting your serial number Google Clarion radio code.

I sent mine to Clarion for repair and it came back worse

Was that the Swindon site?

I use one of those cassette adapters with great success in the '93 and '95.

oakey · Feb 15, 2020

Yes was in Swindon I think

I do hope you complained.

oakey · Feb 15, 2020

No I never bothered lol
It doesnt jump frequency to stay on station and does not pick up weaker signals which are typical up here

There's a company called grom I think that make an adapter that plugs in behind the radio and still lets you have the steering wheel controls and makes the original Bluetooth
