how to decode my radio?

[jono87]

hi all im asking for help on how to decode my radio i have entered the wrong code twice and now has gone into 'safe' mode, i have read the manuals and it says once i have entered the wrong code and safe mode is started the intervals will increase when the code is re entered wrongly. however i have not been able to get off this screen fo 4 days now and am wondering is there something im doin wrong? i.e. leaving radio on or not?
i do have the code now but still cannot enter it as in safe mode still. if any one could suggest trying somethink i would be very much appreciative. jon

i did this once and it took many days longer than the handbook led me to believe.
I tried leaving the ignition on, the radio on, etc etc.
in the end it works after a week or so.

Turn the radio on. Leave the keys out of the ignition. Leave the car for an hour. Lock it if your going away from it. After an hour the word SAFE should turn to 1000. When this happens enter the radio code using the 1,2,3,4 buttons and press the PROG button. This is all done without the keys in the ignition. The radio should turn on straight away. I did mine yesterday and just to warn you, the radio came on quite loud! Hope this helps.

I tried that and it came up with 2000 rather than 1000, and then I pressed PROG and it went back to SAFE... oops. Now waiting for the second hour to go past to see if I can get it right the second time...
