    Wirecoat hanger works well

    Turn the key to the first stop and turn radio on. The word SECURE will appear. Leave for up to an hour. At some point CODE will appear. using the first 4 numbers on programme selector put radio code in then press the /\ (up) arrow on the RHS - hey presto

    Tried it today but couldn't get the word CODE to appear :think: will try it again tomorrow. Oh btw do you have to sit and watch for the code or if i turn the key can i leave it for a bit and go back and check? Thank you :D

    Remove the radio from the dashboard. Read the serial no. from the label.

    No you don't have to sit and watch for the code
    just turn key to position 1 then go back and check
    Hope this has helped you :j
