If it says CODE again
The code was entered wrongly or is for a different radio. Stop and check the serial against the label before trying again — every wrong try adds a delay. Read the locked radio guide.
Blaupunkt tip
Some older Blaupunkt radios won’t accept a first digit above 1. We give you an alternative code for those automatically.
