[Welung666]

Which model head unit?

[jason120]

i think its a ccr800

Ignition on, radio off. Press and hold the AS button and switch the HU on, it will beep and then request a code, release AS button. Use buttons 1, 2, 3 & 4 to enter the code then press AS again

SAFE with no numbers to the left means that igntion was not turned on first.

Code Entry as Follows:

Turn Off Stereo
Switch On Ignition (No Need To Start Engine)
Press & Hold Preset " AS " and
Switch Radio On - Display Shows
" SAFE " And Then Shows " 10 - - - - "
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 & Hold Preset " AS " Until the Unit Beeps

I think that guiide could be clarified with a 'Ensure radio is off' after the switch ign on stage

You are right there !!  My mistake !

[mrhoots]

if you put in the wrong code initially is there a length of time before you are able to put thr correct code in and do you need to have the ignition on? Please help.

Yes, and the time gets longer each time an incorrect code is entered. Yes, ignition has to be left on, often for hours at a time and remember that you do not get infinate attempts either.

Have a look at my website if you need a correct code though, its a lot less painless in the long run !!

Thanks Dave, just as i suspected. When i originally put in the wrong code, twice, there was a figure in brackets saying 09 and then 08. I assume this will be the number of attemps I have left to put the code in correctly, I hope?

Yep, and from 07 onwards you run the risk of flattening the battery with the ignition on for such a long time.

What model radio are we now referring to?
