Try pressing and holding the auto store button,be careful though as 7 attempts have been used up and I think the set locks at 10 :o

Turn unit off
Press AS and hold whilst turning unit on
Release AS
Press button 1/2/3/4 as many times as needed to enter code
When code correct, press AS again, hold until beep is heard.

Tada!

/m.

Is it possible the radio has been changed from original and the code is now different ?? or its a different model and the procedure is different ??

I'd give DaveDND a shout and ask for advice before trying again .. the risk of bricking it is getting higher !!

It says in the book when you hold in the AS button while turning on it should beep then enter code ...no beep  ???

Can you enter the code though? Four dashes on the MID/TID/display?

are you now in the "time delay" period ?? where you have to leave the ignition on for x minutes before another attempt is allowed ??
