Want this question answered?
entering the wrong code on what? if it's the radio try switching the ignition off then back on the screen should clear then enter the correct code
Turn the key to the ON position (do not start the car). Leave it that way for approx. one hour. Then the radio will go back to the CODE sequence. You will then need to enter the correct code to get the radio to work.
If it states code wait on the radio then you must turn the key to the first click or position in the ignition then allow the vehicle to sit for 1 hour. After 1 hour you will be able to re-enter your code incorrectly up to 3 times before it will state code wait on the radio again.
Mine was reset when the radio says "code" by entering 2456 on radio channels
If the radio has a security code you will have to insert the code for the radio to work.
Leave the unit on for at least an hour, maybe even an hour and a half. 'Code Wait' should go away and you should then be able to input the correct code; only three tries!
You have had a loss of power to the radio (such as when the car battery is changed), or the radio has been replaced or disconnected from the car's wiring harness. This is a theft deterrent because the stolen radio is useless to someone without the activation code. This code can be obtained from a dealer or it is found on a small plastic card that is part of the original owner's materials. Number is usually 5 digits. When you turn on the radio and the readout says 'CODE', enter the number by using the numbered station selection buttons (which are numbered 1-2-3-4-5-6). If the radio beeps when you are entering the number, start over. If it keeps beeping, you have the wrong code number (which might be the case if the radio has been replaced). Note: The 'CODE' button located on the small computer face to the right of the radio (with the date, mileage, temperature, etc) has NOTHING to do with the process or the radio 'CODE'.
He must have used the wrong code. You have to pull the stero get the serial # and cross it with the dealer to get the actual code for that radio. Then start over.
your radio will probably ask for a code which can be obtained from your mechanic or dealership. After entering the code press the scan button and it should work
TO get the HOLD off and CODE back on- you turn key on and not start car- turn radio on and wait upto 24 hrs- CODE will show -then enter code for your car and hit OK*this was straight from the dealer
Anti-theft radio's can be unlocked when a unique code in entered into them. There is a limited number of attempts allowed. If you enter your code incorrectly to many times you will have to wait a set amount of time to try again.Methods of entering security codes vary by manufacturersThe correct procedure will be shown in you vehicle radio manualIn order to unlock a radio with a code once it is locked is going to greatly depend on what type of radio/stereo that is trying to be unlocked. Try entering the code with the station presets.
Try disconnecting the negative battery wire, leave it off for ~5 minutes, then reconnect. Start the engine. The radio should read "CODE". Using the station preset buttons (1 through 6) enter your code. Then turn the radio on. Works for my '93 Prelude; hope this helps you!
