I reset the ECU today and put in teh wrong radio code by mistake. Usually I get a 2nd chance to put a code in but this time I am locked out? I know the code for the radio but it is not allowing any code input atm. Its a peugeot model with a tape player.

I once had an Alfa where you had to leave the stereo swithched on with the ignition on for 60 minutes  At the time I only did short journeys so it was weeks before I got a chance to sort it.________________________________________ Less than 24 hours to go! |

IIRC you need to hold in the wave button when turning it on,don't quote me on that though ,It's been a long time. but worth a try.________________________________________ pet hate, the cat |

I went through this as the PO didn't have the code for mine. Pug offered to give me the code for £20. I said could you waive the charge and give me the code for nothing as I'm a really top bloke and everyone I know thinks so. Pug said nope, you will still need to pay £20. I said thanks but no thanks - I'd rather put that towards a more modern head unit. ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |

Leave the ignition switched on for half an hour or then the radio will reset  |

But we have a winner here ... leaving the key in ignition on first turn switch for an hour clears the lockout.  and I was looking forward to sweet talking the new girl in servicing  :whislte ... £20! |

I thought I had fixed this but apparently not ... the radio works without ignition so i think i need to change the fuse over first and then do the above fix. Does anyone know the correct position for radio off without ignition? |

Does anyone know the correct position for radio off without ignition? If the radio works with ignition off the fuse needs to be moved up I believe ? If your using a phase 3 cd unit in a phase 2 car the wires will need switching over so you have power to the memory. Ie the ignition and permenant live will be the wrong way round |
