I'm selling my Saxo (having just got a C5) so this afternoon went to
re-fit the original radio having removed my aftermarket stereo.

When I connect the radio up and attempt to turn it on, I am faced with
two messages from the LCD display:

code
1 error

I am assuming this is because the stereo requires me to input the code I
have written in the vehicle handbook. I have no idea how to input this
code, however, because the four digit code includes a zero and there are
only buttons from 1-6 on the facia!

How does one go about unlocking such a thing?

If it's like the Philips stereo in my s2 XM, then you use the tune up/down
buttons to take each digit higher/lower, then the "1" channel button to
store that digit.

Thanks for the swift response.
That wasn't quite it but it gave me an idea of what to try.
I had to wait for the
1 error
code to go away and could then input the code using the 1234 buttons to
change the first to fourth digits.

Success!
