Entering Your Code:

1. Press the pre-determined button (usually 1) repeatedly until the first digit of your code appears on the screen.
2. Repeat this process for buttons 2, 3, and 4, entering each digit sequentially.
3. Confirm your entry using the appropriate button (e.g., 5 for Ford 6000CD, * for Sony, > for most VW, Audi, Skoda, and Seat).

Troubleshooting SAFE/LOCKED/WAIT/ERROR Messages:

Most radios have a security system to prevent brute-force code entry. After several incorrect attempts, the radio may lock.

• Ford: "WAIT" – Leave the radio powered on for 30 minutes. "LOCKED" or "LOCKED10" – Hold button 6 for ten seconds. "LOCKED13" – Requires dealer assistance.
• VW (Volkswagen): "SAFE" or "SAFE2" – Leave the unit on for 60 minutes.
