You need to leave stereo on for up to an hour with ignition in position two , this will then allow you to re enter code

Disc 2 Alpine radio ask for code ,Do have code but radio does not allow to enter code

Leave the radio on, until it displays the word "CODE".
then you can enter the code using numbers 1 to 4.

The time until "CODE" is displayed depends on the number of previous wrong entries. 1 minute for one wrong entry, 2 hours for 5 wrong entries.

Just put the radio on and leave it that way until it says "CODE"

Radio in safe mode

Radio is locked because someone entered the wrong code more than three times.

Radio must be left on for one hour before it will change to CODE. At which time you can enter your radio code .( Do not just leave ignition on...battery will be discharged inside the hour.)

You have three trys before it locks and says SAFE.

If it does not take the code you have you will need to call VW and ask them if they can obtain the code. However, VW demands that the owner must be present and have ownership papers for the can and a valid id.

If the listed code still is not taken by the radio, you need to pull the radio out ( Special tools required.) and record ALL the numbers you find on the radio chassis so VW dealer can pull up code for that radio.

Or...have an after market radio installed.

I changed the battery in my 1997 Discovery and the radio needs to be reset. The local dealer gave me a 7 digit code, but they don't know the procedure for entering it. Any ideas?

So if you were to pay a dealer for their time & have it
taken into the service bay, not a single tech could put
in a radio code
That is pure non sense

Sorry, I had to say something & I don't have your owners
manual or any other material to help you

Try asking another dealer, or see if you can have it
done with a scan tool at a local repair shop

I have a 1996 land rover discovery, I just had a new battery put in and lost the radio code.I need the radio code and instructions on how to put it in the radio.

The folding pouch that came with the truck would have a card inside a plastic holder with the number on it. I do not know about pushing a button so many times and then on to the next number. All I do is enter the five digit code and bingo. I work on mine a lot and have to reset it every time I disconnect the battery. Check with the dealership or get online at a landrover forum;http://www.lrrforums.com/index.php?s=2520478ada19011f439696be3e4e31d3 and there are experts there who can help at no charge.

Radio problem

InOP - Too many wrong code attempts have been entered and the radio must be left powered on for one hour with the battery and ignition applied before three more attempts can be made. Entering only the correct code will unlock the car radio. here's your answer . cheers
