Title: 8 or 10 digit switching
Post by: MutantCav on 28 March 2009, 11:56:10

Helloooo, I'm trying to put a CAR400 (amoung others) into my Sintra...the one with no code works fine...the CAR400 needs a code inputting...doesnt beep when holding AS while starting radio like it does on the Omega...I was wondering if maybe the Sintra has a 10 digit display (or the other way round) and so the stereo needs changing accordingly to be able to put the code in?? If so, is it the 2 and 4 buttons or 2 and 6 buttons or what?

Also the alternative is to put the stereo into the MIG and turn off the code input so it will just go straight into the Sintra...what buttons do you use to turn off the code input??

Thanks :y

2 and 4 flick between the 3 modes (8, 8+2, 10 digit) - press and hold then turn on radio.

However, I believe the code entry should be possible in all modes.

Code entry will work in all modes, only after code has been entered do you need to worry about 8 / 10 digit screens.

What is the display saying?

Make sure Ignition is ON before turning on the radio.

Just sits there saying safe when I turn the radio back on with the AS button held...follow the procedure to enter code the same as the Omega it just wont beep like it doeson the Omega and go into code entry mode...

How do I turn code entry mode off??

SAFE with no numbers to the left of it, means that you do not have the ignition on - although unnecessary to go as far as starting the car, may be worth trying.

With car running, turn OFF stereo,

press and hold teh AS whilst turning ON car stereo, keeping AS pressed for ten seconds.

If display says 10  - - - -  then enter your code

If display says 7 - - - -   (or a lower number) then leave everything on for a couple of hours and try again

If display says SAFE with no numbers, then time to get the multimeter out, as the ignition supply is interrupted somewhere.

Right I will give it a go...and how do I turn the code entry to off so you dont need to enter the code anyway?

Isn't it the same as using the code to 'unlock' it  :-/

My manual states that to turn the code 'off' or 'on' input the 4 digit code, if code is 'off' this puts it 'on'. If it's 'on', it puts it 'off' if you see what I mean!!  :-?

Just entering the 4 digits, 'switches' the code option either on or off, according to what is already active. I know this works on my system, have done it a couple of times.  I have the CCR600/CDC2 setup, but assume it works on them all.

hope this is of help   :y
