Entering radio code

Feb 26, 2013 8 Replies

I just changed a battery on a Renault Kangoo, X reg. I have the radio code, and have done it before on this car, but then the radio showed 4 zeros for me to input the code. This time it's just come up with the word code, and makes that annoying beep whatever I press. How do I get the zeros to come up?



TIA Steve


GIYF ;-)

Got it sorted now, thanks.

Any idea what the point of that particular feature is?

To frustrate people trying to guess the code. I imagine the lockout period increases if you get it wrong again.

The OP did not say he got it wrong even once!

I know, but he must have done something wrong, it's how these things work. Having a lockout period in the absence of any miscoding would make no sense at all.

It probably was my fault, everything else is [1].

Now the neighbour whose car it is tells me that the airbag light is on. I didn't notice it, but it may have been on when I was doing the radio. Could this also be because I've changed the battery?

And is this all a warning for me that I shouldn't be doing "a small favour" for the neighbours? More trouble than the brownie points are worth.

[1] Ask SWMBO if you don't believe me.
