Hi there, you need to reset it from safe mode. While it says safe on the screen, it is locked and you CAN'T enter the code.
To do this, go out to the car and press the radio button so that the radio lights up/comes on etc. This is WITHOUT the keys in the ignition.
You'll need to leave it like this for a couple of hours( it varies), then when you go back it should have reset itself from safe mode and be ready for the code. ( it will say 1000 or something like that when it's ready for the code) If you start the car or turn the ignition on then it will go back into safe mode again and you'll have to start the waiting again from the beginning.
After entering the correct code then you press the PTY/PROG button to enter it.
Hope that helps, Matt

I have already tried that, it lets me enter the code again and then i press program, which is said to do in other forums, but it knocks one chance off me so i try again and goes back into safe mode.
I also dont have a scan button, it is at either side of numbers 1-3 but if i press them together it just changes the code numbers..
Thanks Beth

Ah right i see, in that case then i would think that it's the wrong code. Perhaps the previous owner has changed it and not written it in the book? i've still got the manual here for mine, just looked it up for you and it says that pty/prog is definitely the button to press.

Edit: Sorry beth, it says press and HOLD the PTY/PROG button until it beeps/unlocks, maybe try that

Hello,
I on my radio the program and pty buttons are indivduals,
Would i need to hold and press them at the same time?
Thanks

Hi again beth, ummm..... not sure tbh, i've got the manual here next to me and in that they are one button, there's a pic of it. Maybe they changed the layout between the 2002 AURA which my manual is for, and your 2005 model?
Maybe someone else knows, but i'd say maybe just program then, can't see it being both.
