Is 3 minutes enough time? I did the wait an hour thing (mis-remembered the
code and finally found the card with the correct code) and waited for the
radio to give the long solid beep letting me know to try the code again.

I think a couple of minutes would be long enough. The mainsail says to
wait an hour with the radio powered up, but I forgot about the trick
of turning off the power to the radio. Shutting off all power to the
radio for a few minutes should reset it.

Re: Have Radio Code but Can't Figure out How to Enter it
 

Thank you to everyone who offered advice about how to get the code to
work. While I had punched in the code using the preset, it dawned on
me yesterday that I didn't let the car sit for an hour with the radio
on before I tried entering the code. So thank you for the advice, this
is what I did:

Turned the key so the accessory setting would be on (after putting the
car in the garage, I guess it wouldn't do me any good if it got stolen
out of the driveway!).

Set the kitchen timer for 60 minutes.

After the 60 minutes was up I went out and tried the code. I used the
presets, using the preset number for the code number (as in, preset #4,
preset #2, preset #1, preset #4, preset #1 for code number 42141). The
radio came on!! I thought I would be my teenage son's hero, figuring
it out for him, but he never seems very impressed with stuff I do so I
guess I am my own hero. :-)

Thanks,
Brenda

Disconnect the battery until the radio loses the code again and let the
kid find out by himself how to reporgram it - then you will be our hero.
