Are you certain this is a 3030 radio? The distinguishing marks are a CD socket in the bottom LH corner, and three buttons in the top LH corner marked TREBLE CLEF, GEO, and CPS. If so, then it *is* a 3030, and Xantidote's instructions above are correct. If it doesn't work, then sounds like you have an incorrect code.

Hi,
Did you fix your radio prob?
I had the same prob when I first got my car (2.0l hdi Xantia) I had the code but had probs getting the head unit to say 'code'.
I went to Citroen themselves and they said they would charge me £50 to remove and 'reset' the head unit. I said if it is not broken then it just needs the code entered using the correct method. I was not happy with that and so didn't take their kind offer.
I found the solution in the end by researching and trial and error. I have fixed the problem now.
I had to leave key in ignition position 1 and then push bnd (once, then let go), then leave like that for over an hour, then it will say code in, u can then unlock system with code.
