Hi

I?ve never been able to get my radio to work since I bought the car 2
months ago. At best, the LCD backlight comes on when I turn the
ignition key to its first position. It doesn?t ask for the code or
anything. So it clearly is getting power, but still doesn?t work.

My concern is the code has been entered wrongly too many times and
caused it to permanently shut off. Is this possible? Does anyone
know how to fix it?

Thanks
lemmy

I had same problem when i bought my peugeot.

How i cured the problem was to leave the ignition on overnight
then when i came back in morning radio asked for "CODE"
i had to pay local dealer for code £20, but did the trick

Hope this helps

Citroen is similar. Switch on ignition to accessory position. Switch on
radio (for up to twelve hours if wrong code's been entered six times). When
'CODE' appears enter the correct number.

Thanks for that. I left it on for 11 hours, with the ignition to A,
went back this morning and... nothing! Still blank. So I headed off
in the car, and on my way back home later in the day I noticed the
radio said the magic word "CODE"! Maybe the leaving-it-switched on
is cumulative, so once it reached 12 hours it came on, maybe it was a
coincidence, but who cares as long as it keeps working?

(Thankfully, the person I bought the car from had written the code on
the manual.)

Cheers again

if you enter the code wrong the screen blanks out. press and hold the geo
button and the 4 dashes reappear

What is the GEO button? Sorry but my car is having the same problems.
Radio is giving me nothing, not even the word CODE.
