radio
« on: 11 July 2017, 20:09:22 »
hi people. my 2003 2.2i battery went flat. jump started it all good, but radio now in safe mode.  I have tried to enter code, by the book, but to no avail. safe mode, and will not alter. I have entered code previously, no problem. my question is, if previous owner entered wrong codes, and all ten used up, is it now stuffed? or does the coding reset to ten trys each time the right code is entered. I note there is nothing else other than safe on the display. in anticipation, thank you all.

If the reg is BT03TOA then that's not the original Headington.

I am afraid you have confused me. (although that is easy) didn't mention in earlier post it is a CDR2005. is it just a matter of waiting, because of the anti-theft. but as stated, display does not show amount of tries left, just SAFE.

Sold a 2.2 Sport to a dealer in Manchester... That was its reg. I had changed the head unit from a CCR2005 to the CCRT2008...

What does the handbook say on the subject?

hi, understood, the 2.2 sold to dealer. I note ronomega post, 9/11/2013 had the same problem. SAFE, and unable to enter any info. this is the problem I have after discharged battery. no other info, just stuck on safe. it simply will not accept any instruction.I just wondered, if any one else had any info to add. I have entered code on previous occasion, with no trouble. have a nice day.   :)

Does your volume knob (the one you supose to push before even entering the code) still works ok? On my HU that button only works when pushed up and on the right side. If someone would try to enter the code without knowing this they would have the same problem you have. No reaction from the HU.

Try turning off and on the unit first to see if you get a correct reaction from that knob. Because you have to hold it for a few seconds, if it has a even slightly bad contact I dont think it will work.

To enter code:

Ign on
Switch radio off (but ign stays on)  ***this step not in book, but is critical***
Press/hold AS
Radio on
Release AS at beep
If prompted for a code, enter and press hold AS
if not prompted, you are in a wait state, anywhere from 10 mins to 12hrs, ign must remain on all this time (so plug in charger)
Enter code when prompted, press hold AS


If you enter correct code, but system does not accept it, **YOU HAVE WRONG CODE**, do not repeat.

I had similar problem with 2006 vectra, removed the battery for 5 min then put battery back on and it took the code then think its not safe mode as in no code think its the jump from the jumpstarter.

Disconnecting the battery will not help with radios needing code, or in a wait state due to incorrect code entry.

hi again,
           as stated, safe with no number. cannot switch on or off, it is simply 'dead'  chazza notes interrupted power supply. this is obviously what happened when battery went flat, (although I have no idea why, and it has not happened since???) therefore, as the problem appears to be 'interrupted power supply, what do I do next? any information gratefully received.

Did you EXACTLY follow procedure above?  At the start, the ign needs to be on, and the radio off.  That is critical.
