Please note that code entry is only possible when the four lines are flashing in the display. If the display continually shows "WAIT" then the unit may be codelocked and will need to be left switched on up for up to two hours to reset before another code entry attempt is possible. If it does not reset after this time, or the display shows "10" then all of your code entry attempts may have been used up, and the unit will need to be sent to us to be decoded and reset. Please contact us for the cost of this service.

If you have lost your radio code, the Security Code for this Radio is available NOW using our fully automated INSTANT RADIO CODE service. Once your Radio details have been submitted, your Code will be ready - Instantly !! - No Waiting !!

This radio is bolted in place by four bolts, and these will be hidden beneath the dashboard trim. Removal of the trim will depend largely on the vehicle it is fitted to, but should not present any real problems. Please consult your service manual if you are unsure how to go about this. Once the four bolts that secure the radio frame have been removed, the stereo will come out in a rather large lump and can then be unplugged.

Top Tips !

We are informed that one some vehicles, if you remove the steering cowling, it may be possible to shine a light inside to illuminate the right hand side of the stereo where the label can often be found containing the model and serial numbers. We have not tried this ourselves, but agree that it would be a lot easier and quicker to do this than remove the console trim. If you have tried this method, please let us know how you got on.
