Thanks again in advance
Hello There.
The wait means you need to wait with the radio on for a certain amount of time, depending on how many times the wrong code was entered.
To get your unlocking code there are many websites that offer an unlocking service for a few £/$ . here is one that I found>

Call BMW they have the code. Supply them with the serial number.
Don't enter the code until it is the correct one.
Enter the wrong code and you have to wait 1.5 hrs with the key on acc to try again.

Well i remember the M25 being built so i wouldnt know about radio reception ,but i do remember radio london and caroline.Now i would imagine that this sort of auto reset of tuning reception is controled by a micro chip and this chip is now not working as it should so if you want it to work then its most likely cheaper to install a new radio.Or just use long wave for radio 4.

I have the same problem - radio has been stuck on CODE WAIT ever since I changed the battery. I have tried keeping the radio on for hours to see if it would reset. That did not work. HELP!
