Radio off, hold 1 and 6, switch on: the pre-code appears on the display (our drawing).

If the display stays on CODE or 0000, read the pre-code from the label on the radio case, where it is printed as A123-SECURITY (often called the security code) – you need two radio removal keys to slide the radio out. On a phone you can tap the camera button and point it at the display or the label.

Switch the radio off, press and hold buttons 1 and 6 together, then switch it on while still holding them. After a few seconds the display shows the pre-code, for example A123. It is also printed on the label on the radio case, next to the word SECURITY (e.g. A123-SECURITY), which is why it is often called the security code. Type only the letter and three digits.
