Hi All, Help needed !! I just replaced battery, everything working ok, entered radio code, didn't work, checked code to find I had transposed last two numbers! (the same thing happens to me at ATMs!!)
Tried to enter code again no joy!! (locked-out!) Can anyone help me with the proceedure to clear this and enter new code please.
It's the standard radio cassete player as fitted in the early 80s I believe its a Clarion! (In fact if anyone has a handbook for this radio I would gladly buy it from you).
Thanks in anticipation Dave

ok alot of car have the sme thing with radios, the early 1's could have the battery disconected for 15 sec and u can start again. others had a lock out of 1 hr and some 24 hrs, i dont know the time or type of secuity the bmw will have but alot of the time with car radios u can disconnect the battery and start again,

Hi Alex, Yes I thought that, & tried it for about 10 mins, maybe should try longer! Dave

the other think u might be able to do is, take proof of ownership to a bmw dealer and the radio and they should be able to get the code for u cost about 20 bucks in astralia, if the lock out dosent clear after the batt has been disconected for 15 sec, longer wont help. the only wait will be the lock out time , 1 ... 12 or 24 hrs are usall standards.

Hi All found this after searching all day!! it's for the CLARION PU9203A AS FITTED TO EARLY K100'S
so some of you may find it useful.
This stereo is codelocked!! I`m now going to divulge a little trick of the trade, but do not do this more than once! With the unit switched on, press and hold the 'ST' button for around 10 seconds, and the display should dissappear completely and leave you with a blank screen. If it does, then you are now ready to enter the code, if not, then you will have to leave the unit powered on for at least two and a half hours for the penalty timer to expire, and then try pressing the 'ST' button and see what happens.
