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?

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.

did you leave the key in the on position with the radio turn on for about an hour?
it should unlock it and let you put the code in after that
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
