- Repeat this process for buttons 2, 3, and 4, entering each digit of your code.
- Confirm your code entry. The confirmation button varies by model (e.g., 5, , >). For example, Ford 6000CD uses 5, Sony uses , and most VW, Audi, Skoda, and Seat models use > (right arrow).
Troubleshooting SAFE/LOCKED/WAIT/ERROR Messages:
All radios have anti-theft protection. Entering the wrong code multiple times will trigger a lockout.
- Ford: "WAIT" requires leaving the radio on for 30 minutes. "LOCKED" or "LOCKED10" may require holding button 6 for ten seconds for additional attempts. "LOCKED13" indicates a semi-permanent block requiring dealer assistance.
- VW/Volkswagen: "SAFE" or "SAFE2" after three incorrect attempts requires leaving the unit on for 60 minutes.
