Ok... I read this thread before heading south and while I was down there I tore off my muffler... I know..youre thinking what does that have to do with radios.
I had a different muffler welded into the pipe and to do that they removed the battery connections, so when we got back in to the vehicle the radio was showing the dreaded "CODE 1" on the screen, and no number anywhere in the literature.
The landrover handbook covered three or four different types of radios and following the directions FOR THE RIGHT RADIO makes a big difference.
I rang the Landrover dealer and gave him the last 6 numbers of the chassis number and he got back to me with the 4 digit code. Mine is the type that has 1-6 buttons and has a single CD slot at the top.
I simply turned on the car, "CODE 1" appeared, and I pressed the appropriate 1-6 code buttons (ignoring what the screen said) and... the CD started playing. It was very simple and painless despite the day of worry that I would never hear music out of the thing after reading this thread..lol.
