Did you remember to press Button #5 once after entering the four-digit code to actually enter the code?

Stevemart,

Right.

OK, 6000 is certainly the correct Keycode for the given serial number.

So, to enter, you've done the following:

Pressed Button #1 - Six times

Pressed Button #2 - Ten times

Pressed Button #3 - Ten times

Pressed Button #4 - Ten times

Pressed Button #5 - Once

Q1. Is this a correct record of what you've done?

Q2. Has the radio in your car ever been changed?

If the answer to Q1 is "Yes" and to Q2 is "No" then I'm afraid this does suggest that your radio could be faulty.

Remove the security panel (preset buttons)and clean the contacts and re-fit and try again.
