Hi there,
I think its fairly standard across all Land Rovers. First of all you need a code. This was supplied on a credit card sized piece of card with the original vehicle. I'l assume its not to hand... Typically, you can source the code (which is specific to your serial number / radio) from a supplier such as this on eBay


http://cgi.ebay.com/Land-Rover-Radio-Code-Decode-Service-22Dc710-61B-61L-/380186172853?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Audio_TV_Electronics_In_Car_Entertainment_GPS_In_Car_Audio_Players_PP&hash=item5884dc9db5

Code in hand, you are ready to enter it and unlock the radio.

You only actually need numbered button <1> and the two seek buttons that look like <| and >| .
-------------
When you turn the radio on, you should see it request <CODE>

Press preset button <1>. This should identify character 1 of the code.

Use one of the two tuning buttons (Seek up , or seek down - the ones with arrows going into lines) to move to the right number (0-9).

Press preset button <1> again to lock digit 1 and move onto code digit 2.

Repeat twiddling the upseek and downseek. Press button 1 etc .... until all four codes have been entered.

When you press <1> for the final time, if the code is correct, you'll get a two tone beep to confirm and the radio is unlocked.

If incorrect, you are progressively locked out (in doubling time periods).

Hope this helps.

If you have your VIN, and the serial number on the stereo, you can contact a LR dealer and they will give you the code.

SOURCE: radio unlock code for 1998 land rover discovery

Give the dealership your VIN# and they will in turn provide you with an 'unlock' code. Input the code and you should have radio. If not, you will need to remove the radio and give the dealer the chassis # found on the case.

SOURCE: Radio Code Unlock?

If it's the original radio, then the landrover dealer will sort it, via the database. reg number, and vin number usually required. But check in the info wallet that should have come with your car, it's usually stored in there, on a security card.

Your radio is in anti theft mode. You need Ro put in a code to unlock it. Look through your paperwork that cane with the truck. If you've lost the code, bring your registration to the dealership and they can look up the code with your vin#

You need to call your local Land Rover Dealer and give them your VIN# and they will get you the code. If you have your owners manual, there's a separate booklet re: Entertainment systems that includes the code. TIP: once you get the code, write it down on inside lid of glove box
