Entered Incorrect Radio Code

[Bracey]

Evening,

I've just bought a Citroen ZX.  I have the paperwork for the car and the radio code, but the radio display shows " - - - " .  I've read that this means the previous owner has entered an incorrect code too many times.

 

Is there a way for me to reset this?  As I say, I do have the correct code.  

 

 

Thanks, 

Bracey

Welcome to the forum.

 

We had an Astra that needed the radio code putting in if it or the battery had been disconnected. If the wrong code was used, it had to be left on for a few hours and then you could try again. Maybe your radio is similar.

If you do not know how to enter the code, I found this amongst some help pages which may work:

 

To enter the number 0 the appropriate space should be "blank" (ie blank equals 0). Presumably you know that entering the code is not by pressing the 0 3 4 5 keys on your radio presets (as there isn't a 0 key), rather you press preset 1 and keep it down to change the first digit of the code (it should change from blank (0) all the way up to 9 and back to blank), then use no 2 preset radio button to do the same for the second digit of the code, no 3 preset for the third digit and no 4 preset for the fourth. Or at least that's what i think, from memory,
