That would be great martin , so its just a case of pulling the old one out and slotting a new one in . Will i lose the steering radio cd controls ?

How long have you left it switched on for while you wait for the 7 safe message to go away?

I thought 7 safe meant that you still had 7 opportunities to enter the wrong code

Had the unit on for about an hour , i think davednd said 7safe was the code to time out .. soon as i press ast you are suppose to hear a beep then enter code , it dont beep or give the signal to enter code

Just read this from a forum asking the same question ..

After the first 3 tries you need to leave the radio on and the ignition on for increasingly long periods of time before it will let you try again. 7 safe need you to wait at least 30 mins, and more like 1 hour. 

So someone has tried the incorrect code before i purchased the car , how long i need to leave it to time out is anybodies guess

have to leave ignition on for 160 mins before entering code,or remove unit connect to 12v and leave it till it allows you to enter code
