^ That link brings up "invalid forum specified"

The OP could try this one

http://www.radio-code.lt/

Have a search for your radio, but I suspect it could be an Alpine which are hard to get the radio codes for.
In the UK the dealer can give you the code, for free, using the Vin# but not sure what the situation is in Cameroon.

There are Mercedes dealers in Douala and Yaoundé - your best bet is to contact them.

Sometimes the codes cannot be obtained.

The code is stored against the VIN of the car the unit was supplied in. So, when requesting a code using a unit serial number, the dealer has to first look up the VIN that unit was in. Then he/she can get the code. However, if the original car the unit came from has had a replacement fitted and properly coded the stored unlock code against that vin will be for the new unit. The original one is lost forever! This happens most commonly when a unit is stolen and replaced under insurance. The stolen unit then becomes useless.

In the case of number not available the little coding chip can be changed, and with most, and a new chip you just power up while holding the on button, then enter a code of your choice and thats it.

The radios fitted to the 124's often lost their coding and this was the easy way to fix it. the chips only cost £3
