I reset the ECU today and put in teh wrong radio code by mistake. Usually I get a 2nd chance to put a code in but this time I am locked out? I know the code for the radio but it is not allowing any code input atm. Its a peugeot model with a tape player.

I once had an Alfa where you had to leave the stereo swithched on with the ignition on for 60 minutes LOL At the time I only did short journeys so it was weeks before I got a chance to sort it.

IIRC you need to hold in the wave button when turning it on,don't quote me on that though ,It's been a long time. but worth a try.

yes correct. It has to be done every time the radio gets turned on.
is there a way to flash tem to reset without going to pug?

would a peugeot diagnostic machine be able to unlock it ? or is it radio out job?

I went through this as the PO didn't have the code for mine. Pug offered to give me the code for £20. I said could you waive the charge and give me the code for nothing as I'm a really top bloke and everyone I know thinks so. Pug said nope, you will still need to pay £20. I said thanks but no thanks - I'd rather put that towards a more modern head unit.

Once again many thanks to everyone who helped out. But we have a winner here ... leaving the key in ignition on first turn switch for an hour clears the lockout. Thumbs up

and I was looking forward to sweet talking the new girl in servicing Love :whislte ... £20! Thumbs up

I thought I had fixed this but apparently not ...

the radio works without ignition so i think i need to change the fuse over first and then do the above fix. Does anyone know the correct position for radio off without ignition?

If the radio works with ignition off the fuse needs to be moved up I believe ?

If your using a phase 3 cd unit in a phase 2 car the wires will need switching over so you have power to the memory.

Ie the ignition and permenant live will be the wrong way round Yes
