Well after changing my car battery, my cd/radio has decided to pack it in & not work. Even though I have the PIN code & punched it in after following the instructions to the letter, the stupid thing still doesn't work.
So, I call the dealership where I bought the bloody car & they give me the code (same one as I have) & they tell me the radio is a Clarion & to call them for assistance. OK, so do that, but Clarion tells me my radio is not a Clarion (going by the serial numbers on the unit.) I cannot find a make/model anywhere on the unit! It just says SUZUKI....
Does anyone know what type of cd/radios a 2003 GV came with by any chance? Or where in the hell can I now go to get this stupid thing reset.

Suzuki used Phillips units for a while also. So that is a possibility. Only way to tell for sure is probably to remove the unit and have a look at the label on the back. Removal is pretty straight forward, jut a few screws and pieces of trim to come out.

i don't know anythingh about this, but when you say it doesn;t work... does it have power to start with before you start putting codes in? maybe the fuse is blown or something.
i'll go back to my corner now

Yeah it has power cause as soon as I press the power on button, the word "CODE" appears which allows me to punch in the PIN #, plus the red LED security light flickers when everything is off & the time function also works OK (although it's showing the wrong time atm.)
I unscrewed everything & pulled the blasted thing out & still can't find a make/model name, only SUZUKI & a bar code with a serial number underneath it.
Time to head to a radio place me thinks, hopefully they can reset it without too many dramas.
