Have a look at this post in this thread:

memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=2763

The more you enter the wrong code, the longer the delay is before the CODE IN appears. Leave it connected to a separate car battery for up to 30 hours or so until the CODE IN appears.

I think Pin 4 and 7 are live and 8 is the earth on the 8 pin black connector socket.

I left the radio on on the bench. Let's see how long it takes to unlock itself.

I take it you have the correct code available?
The car's owners' handbook should have the code entry procedure described.

Sorry, not following you.
Do you have the correct code, and its input procedure?

To obtain the code, if you need it, this site works:
https://www.radio-code.co.uk/PU1561A-Ci ... guide.html
Site also contains code entry instructions.
Input the unit's 14-digit full serial number, pay the small fee, and get the code.

Band needs pressing for 5secs+.

The issue is that either too many attempts have been made Chris and this has extended the wait time again and again before code re-entry will show, - so double dash lines are showing - so no further code input is possible until the allotted time has elapsed. Every time the system is powered off it starts counting down from next power up - hence why others have kept the radio 'live' to allow the hours needed to lapse before the 'CODE IN' is displayed again.

That's right - the enforced 'wait' period escalates by doubling, each time wrong code is entered.
Best to get acquire correct code, I'd guess . . .

Exactly... i cannot input any code because i receive the double dash line when i press BND for 5seconds

So i have to wait i-dont-know-how-much-time to be able to input the correct code again

:(

22 hours and counting... no result yet

"CODE IN" should appears automatically or ineed to press BND for test?
