Posting on the offchance that someone can help, legally.

Land Rover defender Blaupunkt CD43.

Land Rover are no help.

Not sure for Land Rover but for standard Audi units there are companies that can tell you the code if you have the radio serial number. Look on ebay.

Not that it adds much but think the CD43 was fitted to BMW, ended up in Rovers and MGs as well as Landrovers after the buy-out? Given the sheer numbers of units I would have thought somebody has got to the bottom of decoding them...

There's plenty of options out there, but me being me, I'd rather find a reply from within our little community first.

All I can find on google is code written on the stereo or code written on the bottom of the ashtray, or code on a card in the service book, have you looked there?

It's new old stock, bought two years ago. The code label is not where I thought it was, and the number I thought it was isn't right.
Landrover want a copy of the V5, which given that it was never fitted by landrover to a landrover, and I don't own a landrover, is a red herring.

I'll have to shell out the £5 for the code, and hope its right.

Sorted!
Fortunately, the fella I bought the stereo from had it in his records.

It's now written down in all sorts of places...
