I've just bought a philips car 400 radio cassette off ebay, and found that its locked and won't accept any more tries at antering the security code! I have the original documents and code!
Does anyone out there have any ideas on how to be able to enter the code again, or to be able to reset the code timer! I found one for Kenwoods stereos for example!
KENWOOD SECURITY CODE CLEAR procedure
Your radio will require one of the following procedures.
Type 1 During the code request mode, while holding the DISP key depressed, press and hold the Volume UP or DOWN key for 3 seconds (so that "..." disappears). Then using your remote enter your code.
Type 2 Press the "Auto" button and "Track up" on face of radio at the same time. The four dash lines ( . . . . ) should "disappear".
Then using your remote enter your code.
