Hi
I've tried just about everything I can think of to enter a code into a 2006 RDS. I've tried the unlockmy website, read the manual, searched this forum, unplugged it from the car for a week and reconnected it.

Long and short: I have a code, I have read the instructions but the display never flashes >- CODE --- -< and so I cannot use buttons 1-4 to enter the code I have. When I power up, the registration of the car is displayed and when I press select I see CODE ---- but no matter what I do I cannot enter the code I have.

Any ideas??
Yours
Leon

hi, at a guess it's the unit at fault, it's going to be cheaper to get another 2006 unit on ebay, what age car have you got ?

Its a 1994 on an L

Pity - thought I was going nuts. Have kept the unit in case I can make it work but have temporarily put in a JVC from yesterday's boot fair in Lyneham that I bought for 2 quid.

I think I'll remove the innerds and reseat all the ribon cable and see if that helps - let's see if I can find a Torx 10/12!!

Thanks for getting back to me
Yours
Leon

hi, yea its never worth repairing, unless you know what your doing, my local car radio shop charge silly money in labour, dont keep spares as such, and want to send everything away to the uk service centre for that make, it's cheaper to buy another one lol
