download navcoder free evaluation program, connect to ibus using your favorite adapter (resler, or whatever you might have, I use OBD II to USB connector), and then read the modules, in your case, the BT module. Hopefully, if everything is connecting OK, you will get the PIN displayed on your computer...

Or, get to the BT module, located in front of the DSP unit, and hope that the original label is still there.

Easy to find

Yup, that is how I got mine. In the trunk, lift up and remove a few bolts and wholaa...


Took me less than 15mins to locate the code.

before getting into the battery compartment, check the stock location for the BT unit, which is on the left of the trunk, where a CD and/or navigation is fitted. If it is not there, then try the radio location, which is under the spare tire, in the battery compartment.

It is not in the battery compartment.

It is under your nav and cd changer, but you need to take out the cargo floor. Take out the panel on the left, where your cd changer is. On the floor, you will see a plastic molded thing, held down with 3 10mm nuts. Take that out, remove the plastic thing. Then your blue tooth is held in place by another 10mm nut on the side. Take that out. Pull the unit out, and you should see the sticker on it. Take a permanent marker and write it on top of the unit, so that next time you need the code, you don't have to take all of this out.
