Yep the numbers change when I press the skip track buttons left or right.

Take the keys out of the ignition and then press the stereo on, lock the car and go and have a cup of tea.
Come back an hour later then input the code and then press the prg button until it beeps and then the stereo turns on.

Ok I will give it a go. With the keys out, I'm not sure if I will be able to power the radio ON...... !!!
Confused.

I've tried that, and it wouldn't turn on, left it locked and left it an hour and still in safe, 2000

I have a similar problem. Haven't been able to get it sorted for 2 months! lol

The radio, after leaving for an hour to reset itself, shows 2000. Following the guides here (and the one in the radio handbook), upon entering the code and pressing PROG it flashes SAFE then returns to 2000. So I enter the code again and then it stays at SAFE. Leave on for an hour and it goes back to 2000 to allow me to try again. Very very annoying.

No, I can't be sure. It is the code that is in my radio handbook. Interestingly, the radio code & radio serial number have been printed onto a label and stuck into the book. That certainly gives me the impression it's from the dealer. But, it may well not be the correct code for the radio. I haven't taken the radio out to see if the serial numbers match up though.

I'm off to SERE later today to collect a few bits from Dave, and hopefully he'll, or a member of the team, will take a look for me and see what they think.

Or try and get the correct code?
afaik the battery has been disconnected before and the code worked last time. Now it seems the HU is fecked. tbh it's a good excuse to get one that I can connect my mp3 player too. Any suggestions btw? Not interested in a super-duper dogs b0ll0x one. Just comparable to standard is fine with an AUX in.

I left the car locked and stereo on with the safe on screen and after an hour I got to put the right code in and all was fine.
