As suspected head unit is faulty looks like the codes provided do no work. I plugged the 2nd Alpine unit I bought and code went in fine. Wonders what's up with the original head unit?

I've ordered another head unit see if it is rhe radio or the car.

I agree but just wanted to keep RR as original as possible and all worked fine. Ridiculous what's happened. Is there a conversion kit for radio plugs to a modern one? The kit on my prev RR was an abortion.

Once you enter the last digit do you pres preset button one? YouTube vid seems to suggest

That's the bit that's throwing me I've entered it enough times both with original code and new code. It may be locked out now. I've entered it correctly checked and double checked. There is something wrong just wish I knew what it was. Fuses are fine, the live switches as mentioned above. Must...

Thanks the code is definitely correct as original one was not correct. When radio was plugged into computer code given was entered on the bench

Hi, Hope everyone is well. Got an issue with my Alpine radio. Had to enter code when disconnected battery but would not accept it and it had a damaged screen. Got it repaired and found out code was wrong so got correct one, tested on bench code went in fine. When radio installed in the car...

As expected in life I found the spring randomly on the floor. Not made a difference must be within the main barrel the recoil is. Thanks for help though .

No worries my own stupidity for losing it. Will buy a spring selection

It projects out and all fell apart hence why I am asking as I don't know..

Hi, Does anyone know spec or size of spring that goes inside of ignition barrel please? Mine decided ping away when I removed it! Doh :eek:. It's the spring that allows the key to return from ignition 3 to 2. Thanks all.

I phoned and texted got nothing back. Sourced elsewhere now.

Tried him got nothing back.

I got a load of bull**** texts he sent me from "DHL" that it has been delivered to my address even though I was home and it was left at a "Neighbours" of a house number that don't exist. Made a claim to PayPal now I bet they will be gutless and not give me my money back.
