Hi there I.ve just puchased a Renault megane scenic 1999 and the radio needs a code.... 7700 433 072 W172 Philips 22DC461/62L 9022 214 61624 FD 09 99 12 4183111 Model No: 22DC461/62L
sorry didnt mean to post twice...the display appears to be stuck on code... will disconnecting the battery remove this... nothing has been entered into it since i bought it yesterday and when i test drove it last week it also displayed code
Because you've entered wrong code, the radio has timed locked.
Turn ignition key to accessory position, power the radio on, and leave undisturbed without touching any buttons.
The display will change from 'CODE' to allow another code entry. Time of process varies depending on how many wrong codes has been entered. typically 30 mins - for two wrong code entries.
Well, maybe you haven't but when a Renault radio continusly displays CODE, it is timed locked. The display should momentarily display CODE then '0000', with the first digit flashing for code entry. Here's code entry instructions for both methods - steering wheel remote controls and direct [preset] entry.
STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS
Switch Radio On - Display Shows 'CODE' quickly followed by " 0000 " with the 1st digit flashing Rotate " Thumbwheel " For FIRST Correct Digit Press " " On The Stalk Control To Enter Rotate " Thumbwheel " For SECOND Correct Digit Press " " On The Stalk Control To Enter Rotate " Thumbwheel " For THIRD Correct Digit Press " " On The Stalk Control To Enter Rotate " Thumbwheel " For FOURTH Correct Digit
If the correct code number is now shown on the display Press And Hold " " Until A Beep Is Heard (typically 3 seconds)
OR FOR NO STEERING CONTROL press the first preset button for the 1st digit, second button for the 2nd digit third button for 3rd digit forth button for 4th digit then press buttons 6 OR 5 to store. for 10 seconds
just been sat in car for 34mins with ignition set too accessory and code on display nothing changed...it says in book ya can wait upto mins,,,,could it be longer ?
