Hi I have a 2003 Rover 25, recently I had to have the clutch cable repaired and during the repair the battery was disconnected. Now I can’t use my car radio. On turning it on it asks for the code. I know what the code is but I don’t know how to input it. My car manual has instructions for a different type of radio and says that I have to store the number with a button that I don’t have on my radio model.
I have the same cd palyer in my 25 here is what you do.
Switch on the radio (CODE ----appears on the screen).
Press pre-set button 1 until the first digit of the security code
appears on the screen.
Press pre-set button 2 to select the second digit of the code.
Press pre-set button 3 to select the third digit of the code.
Press pre-set button 4 to select the fourth digit of the code.
The display should now show all 4 of the security code digits.
To confirm the security code you need to press and hold the right tuning button for a few seconds( < m (>) this button next to the 'M' underneath the push on/off/volume control).
All been well the radio should now work. If you enter the code three times and it will not start then you are doing something wrong and it will go into a safe 'delay' period for one hour, in this time the radio display will show (CODE WAIT) DO NOT SWITCH OFF! Wait an hour and the (CODE----) will appear and you can try again.
Hi,i have the same stereo as yours,i purchased the code,tried entering using the way you did and it is now displaying CODE WAIT.I waited an hour with power on,it went back to code i kept trying with my code,and now it is displaying CODE WAIT.I wonder if ive been given the wrong code?
9080 is the correct code for your radio the instructions how to input the code are:
Code Entry as Follows:
Switch Radio On - Display Shows
" CODE - - - - "
Press preset " 1 " repeatedly for 1st Digit
Press preset " 2 " repeatedly for 2nd Digit
Press preset " 3 " repeatedly for 3rd Digit
Press preset " 4 " repeatedly for 4th Digit
If the correct code number is now shown
Press Tuning Up Button " > " To Enter
