    Hi we have tried this and it does nothing when we hold the 5 any ideas? thanks

    If no SELECT button, try just pressing button 5 without holding, failing that try pressing or press and hold button 6.

    The code for serial 022704 is as given by the182guy. If you do not have a select button then the entry details are as said ending with holding button 5 for a few seconds.

    Have you checked the serial on the unit or taken it from the vehicle handbook? If from the handbook then it may be a replacement unit, if the serial is 022704 then it is possible that the unit has been re-coded in the past. If so then I'm afraid that you will have to have it done again at a local de-coder.

    Check the following for input details:
