Title: Can't enter radio code 2005 Galaxy TDI 115 Ghia
Post by: eisenfarn on February 22, 2020, 03:01:12 PM
Hi. I have a 2005 Galaxy MKII with the satnav unit, put a new battery in about a week ago and now I can't input numbers, It's worked before when I've disconnected the battery, but no more. Usually I rotate the knob on the right to move from number to number, I've tried every knob and button on the thing, but nothing moves on the display. Any advice please?

Problem resolved, saw in another forum, "if there is no option to enter the radio code, leave the unit on for an hour and then try again". Worked a treat, radio unit now working.

Thanks for following up! Normally, that 1hr lock out is because the password has been entered three times incorrectly so that's interesting to see.

Features like that are so annoying, nobody nicks car stereos nowadays anyway and defo not the ones that come with the car when new. All it does is drive legitimate owners nuts every time they change a battery or something
