- Repeat this process for buttons 2, 3, and 4, entering each digit sequentially.
- Confirm your entry. The confirm 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
Most radios have anti-theft measures to prevent brute-force code entry. After several incorrect attempts, the radio may block itself.
- Ford: If you see "WAIT," leave the radio powered on for 30 minutes. "LOCKED" or "LOCKED10" might require holding button 6 for ten seconds. "LOCKED13" indicates a semi-permanent block requiring dealer intervention.
- VW (Volkswagen): Three incorrect attempts result in a "SAFE" or "SAFE2" message. Leave the unit on for 60 minutes to retry.
