Radio locked in SAFE mode
Okay, I am very depressed:
I tried unlocking it using the codes I found in the trunk. An hour later, after the radio was locked (of course) the dealership called and told me the correct code. Ever since I tried to unlock it before it went into lockdown, I haven't been able to get it to let me enter the code! I have waited hours, days, and even disconnected the battery for 30 minutes. Is there anything else I can do short of going to the dealership or buying a new radio? |

Hmm, I'd stop by the dealer.
What year is your car? Bose or non-bose? |
RE: Radio locked in SAFE mode
What procedure are you using?
Go through it step by step to make sure you are pressing the right buttons. |

I get in the car, I put the key into the ignition, turn it one click, try it with FM2 and RDS. No go, I turn the car on, use the same buttons, no go. Then I tried different combinations of buttons, eg. FM2 and TPS, AM and RDS. Those combinations also produced no positive outcomes.

RE: Radio locked in SAFE mode
Leave the key in the "on" position for an hour? Or leave the key in the ignition with the radio on for an hour?

Okay, I feel totally insecure about leaving my car outside with a key in it :( but the clock is running

You could just sit in your car and whistle yourself a tune, or read a magazine or something... or better yet, detail the interior for an hour.. good luck and let us know when you get it fixed
