Do a search in this section for "radio lock" as well as the C5 General section under audio/electronics and you will probably find your answer there. Good luck.

Default Unlock your radio

1. Turn th ignition ON (The radio displays LOC)
2. Hold down the Radio Presets 2 and 3 for six seconds.
3. The radio display changes from LOC to a three-digit number. Write this number down. Don't take forever, fifteen seconds max before the next step.
4. Press the AM/FM button
5. The radio display changes to another three-digit number. Write this number to the right of the first one.
6. You now have a six-digit number, the first three digits are from Step 3 and the last three digits are from Step 5.
7. Call 1 800 537 5140.
8. Press 1 then # (pound). You'll hear "Invalid Code, try again".
9. Press 139010 then # (pound). You will be asked to enter your four or six digit code followed by *.
10 Enter the number from Step 6 then * (Star)
11. Listen to the four-digit number and write it down. It will be repeated twice.
12. Turn the ignition ON (The radio displays LOC)
13. Use the MN and HR buttons to enter the code from Step 11
14 Press the AM/FM button. The radio display changes to SEC.

I called the number. Your 4 digit code is 1261. See if that works!

Try 206053 instead of the 139010 and it should work. The 139010 must be outdated.

My understanding is that code is a dealer identifier.

Since most dealerships charge the customer for this service the numbers probably get changed when it becomes known it is being widely circulated.
