Title: Rns510 playing up
Post by: snakedog on February 14, 2009, 07:25:28 pm: Opened the car today turned the radio on (with the ign off) so i could listern to it whilst giving the car a wash and as soon as i shut the door the radio went off? strange i thought so i turned it on again (ign off) and its asking for the 4 didgit code and telling me it has 2 chances left.

Has anyone experianced this problem before? how do i get the code?

Otherwise the dealer will need to provide the code.

Mate, SteveP's reply wasn't exactly cryptic. Don't have an RNS but looking at some Google images, press the first two buttons at the top left corner and the last button on the top right.

Kinda like ctrl+alt+del.
