C5 2003 HPI radio dead - advice on tactics please

Post by punkieys17 »

I bought a C5 to repair and finally its working - however I fitted a new battery without understanding the impact of not doing ot the right way. So many thanks for the supersticky on the battery replacement procedure.

I'm hoping this will get the RDS radio with CD, currently completely unresponsive, to showing code.

I've found a 4 digit code which I hope is the right one.

my question is how do i go about enetering the code.

Before i changed the battery I saw the - - - - screen - and i'm pretty sure i didn't do it right.

So, for example, how do i go about enetering 5271, I've sen mention on some that the first press takes you to zero and is there an "enter" button at the end,

thanks for any help in advance.

There is no radio code for the C5, the radio is coded to the car's VIN. It is only when fitting a substitute radio that the new one would need coding and that has to be done with a Lexia.
