Re: E30 Radio Locked!

["Ryan Sabir" <ryan@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Heya,

That happened to me once and I came across this article:

http://www.koalamotorsport.com/tech/misc/radio.code.htm

Basically saying you have to leave the radio on for an hour to reset it. I
did that over an hour drive to my folks place, and after that it would let
me enter the code.

bye!
