Locked radio

I'm selling my Saxo (having just got a C5) so this afternoon went to re-fit the original radio having removed my aftermarket stereo.



When I connect the radio up and attempt to turn it on, I am faced with two messages from the LCD display:



code



1 error

I am assuming this is because the stereo requires me to input the code I have written in the vehicle handbook. I have no idea how to input this code, however, because the four digit code includes a zero and there are only buttons from 1-6 on the facia!



How does one go about unlocking such a thing?

Toby Newman ( snipped-for-privacy@asktoby.com) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :

If it's like the Philips stereo in my s2 XM, then you use the tune up/down buttons to take each digit higher/lower, then the "1" channel button to store that digit.

Thanks for the swift response. That wasn't quite it but it gave me an idea of what to try. I had to wait for the

1 error code to go away and could then input the code using the 1234 buttons to change the first to fourth digits.

Success!
