'New' P10 owner + help with radio code.

Hi there. Just got a 69k milage P10 Primera LX. I used to own a P10 as a first car and really loved how well it drove and how frugal on fuel it was. I then bought an Accord and although it's super quiet, faster and atleast as comfy, cost nearly twice as much to run. So after seeing a green P10 advertised with 1 previous owner from new and only 69K miles on the clock, I couldn't refuse (especially with the £495 asking price)!

So i'm in the process of  fitting my nice USB Sony head unit that I have had for a while now but I am worried sick about the original cassette unit that's in the car (yes amazingly it has it's original unit!). Ideally if I ever sold on the car i'd like to keep the original unit in it too however it will almost certainly ask for the code if I was to fit it back in the car. I have scarred the internets for any info and came up dry on finding the code. I know sometimes the codes are printed somewhere randomly on the car in a usually difficult to access place or in semi-rare cases, the manual.

So I guess in short does anyone know where I can find it?

Pics of the car to follow soon if anyone is interested in viewing?

Welcome to the NPOC forums, you could ask the owner if he was the only owner of this classic he might have it, or it could be on a little piece of metal on the spare key.

Can't say Iv ever heard of another way of getting the codes for these ones, just pot luck if it's in the manual. I wouldn't stress too much about it though, it might not even ask for the code and if it does then assuming there's still places doing it it's about £20 to fix it iirc, won't cost you a fortune Sounds like a decent p10, look after it!

I'm not too worried, just nice to keep the original and working if possible but if all else fails i'l just leave it and just sell it with the coded head unit purely for interest's sake.
I'l read through the manual again just in case it might have something that I may have missed.

Worth a shot, i'l ring the garage sometime tomorrow and ask about it, wouldnt hurt anyway. Nothing on my spare key's though, other than a small key with "Nissan" printed on it (something to do with the alarm?).

Definately will upload some, just watch this space.  Just tidying it up first making it look as presentable as possible (for an 18 year old car anyway). As for the code, as I said i'm not too fussed, just would be nice is all but if all else fails i'l just remove it regardless.

Now that's something I never knew about the small key so if you have got that the original owner will more than likely have the radio code.

Hi and welcome aboard.
