hi,
   ignition on. message on radio SAFE. press radio on/off button, ( and hold, wind backwards, forwards, etc) nothing. press AS button, and hold, nothing. I have disconnected battery for 5 minutes, more than once, nothing. on previous occasion ( a year ago) when battery disconnected, enter code by the book, it worked! now, stuck on safe, and will not allow any input?? am I missing something!

Maybe try to turn ignition on with the HU fuse removed and then plug the fuse to power it? Out of ideas here. I still think you may have a defective volume/on/off button.

thanks for all the replys, will keep trying. if I crack it, will post what the problem was.

That's not what I said earlier.

Ign on
Radio off
Press hold AS, keep held, turn radio on, keep button held until beep

That part of the procedure is critical

hi,
   yup, tried that many times. have tried everything I can think of! it is stuck on safe, and will not accept any input. as stated previously, battery disconnected (for about six months) a year ago, and accepted code with no problem at all. very strange! thanks for your reply.

remove radio unit, without taking the the battery off. on back of radio check the micro fuse. if fuse ok leave out of vehicle for an hour, while its left out check that there is power from the main battery to the plug they should be 2 live powers with ignition on if these both ok, refit radio, info from corsa web site. power from ignition can turn on the radio but it needs power on permanently supply to store memory.

Fuse is OK Chazza, has OP gets response from radio.

Once all ten attempts have been used, the radio will not reset itself, no matter how long you leave it on for.

I couldn`t see which make and model you had from the thread, but most of them can be reset by us if sent in to our workshop.

Good news

[ancient explorer]

as a matter of interest. a few hours prior to radio working, whilst driving, I noticed SAFE disappear, and the date appeared. (no input from me) a short time later, SAFE appeared again. I left car for an hour, and when I returned, I tried holding the AS button, and turned ignition on. to my amazement, the code appeared, and accepted the code number. nope, I don't understand it, but it may assist someone else with the same problem.

You were, as stated earlier in thread, in a wait state.  That has to expire before you can enter code.

If in a wait state, the ign is turned off, the wait state timer starts again from scratch.

understood. thanks for your input. apologies, for delay in replying, as no wifi on 'me' campsite. have a nice day.
