Safe CD Player cant enter code

[Hayley]

My CCR600 CD player wont go into the mode for entering the code even though i go through the procedure right, I have 7 attempts left and now im confident i have the right number, i did read that theres a time delay that gets longer between attempts, what is it please? or am i possibly doing something else wrong?

thanks for any advice

Forgive any impertinence, but are you absolutely certain you're following correct procedure? If so, then my understanding is that the first 3 attempts are not time-limited, thereafter the interval between attempts doubles each time (1 minute, 2, 4, 8 etc)- and the ignition and radio MUST be left on between attempts. Your handbook should confirm this (or otherwise).

Hi, Thanks for the reply, I am sure im doing the prcedure right, it says 7 safe instead of 7 _ _ _ _ where the dashes is where the 4 digit code goes and the 7 is the number of tries i have left,

are you trying to enter the code for the head unit or the separate changer?

 

[Hayley]

the seperate changer, ive already entered it for radio,

any help would be much appreciated

I've recently had to reset mine do to power loss.
I couldn't be sure that what I had was what was on the radio pass as some units were exchanged under warranty, but the radio pass was not updated. SO .... I went to my friendly VX dealer in Lincolnshire (Thurlby Motors) and got a new Vehicle Pass - they took the radio & CD out for me & checked the codes and applied to VX for the pass. £15+VAT and 24 hours is all it costs - almost painless! (;<D)). You will then have a laminated pass card with all security references on for the future. Good luck Bob

If you are doing it right - nearly same as putting radio code in head unit apart from pressing cd button instead of as - it sounds like code is wrong - just take Bob's advice and get it decoded.

Well i have the code, but the cd player has 7 attempts at putting the code in but it wont go into the put in the code mode, looks like i will have to take it to a garage like you say

if it isn't showing the ---- after the 7 it is in wait mode so you need to leave it turned on till it is ready for another go.
