    Hi, I left my lights on while at work about half a year ago; clever me
    I know. Needless to say the battery went dead and I had to jump start
    it.

    The radio was asking for my code, so I put in the code I had; which had
    previously worked. This time though, nothing. Doesn't seem to like that
    code anymore; I've tried it several times now.

    I'm probably going to buy another radio, but I thought I would try this
    as a last resort. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks.

  2. You could try disconnecting the battery again and leave it for a few minutes
    before re-connecting (like re-booting a computer to clear the memory). If
    that doesn't work you will have to wait for the more knowledgeable people on
    the group.

    Hi

    If your 100% sure that the code you have is correct then maybe you have
    corrupted the 93c46 serial eeprom that contains the code inside the radio.
    If your model of radio is a PU9664 or PU9990 then you could possibly use
    this utility to decode it.

    If you have an EEPROM programmer then its quite a simple job to read out the
    code if you don't have one then pay the £10 to get it decoded locally. There
    are always adverts in the Auto Trader etc.

    Regards...
