HYUNDAI GETZ 2006 MP3-03G STEREO CODE Hi there! Bought a Hyundai Getz 2006 and the battery went flat, meaning that the MP3-03G stereo reset and wanted a security code. Problem is, that the code we have doesn't work. The code supplied in the paperwork is apparently the correct code for this stereo according to Hyundai. I have also checked the serial number on the top of the unit, which matches the serial in the paperwork so I am not sure what to do. Hyundai suggest that there may be a problem with the unit and that I take it to an electronics repair place. Any ideas how I can fix this myself? Cheers!

Thanks jumuah,


Yes, I can enter the code, but it is not accepted.


I've read that if you add 1212 to the last 4 digits of your serial, which in my case is 1403, giving a code of 2615, which matches the code stated in the car's paperwork. Might be useful for you if someone has lost their pin but has the serial in the future.


I guess it must just be a problem with the stereo itself, but I was hoping there was a way around it (like a magic master code or something). I will take it to an car audio electrician tomorrow to see what can be done.

first I used a flexible blade to pry off the black plastic frame... then, I used two metal rulers as the slides on either side and a screw driver under the unit to pry it loose so I could grab the unit with my fingers and slide it towards me. Getting to see that serial number (top right corner of stereo - just under bar code) isn't easy though as the unit doesn't come all the way out -- it helps to have somebody around to write the serial number as you peer into the darkness and read it out. Then, I added 1.2.1.2 (in that order) to the last four s/n digits (example: 6724 + 1212 = 7936) to get the code (7936) that unlocked my stere and saved me $90 (Hyundai dealer's proposed charges). first I used a flexible blade to pry off the black plastic frame... then, I used two metal rulers as the slides on either side and a screw driver under the unit to pry it loose so I could grab the unit with my fingers and slide it towards me.
