how to accept code in cd radio free 52

Ive bought freelander 52reg.
I had to change the battery and than I realised I had to put the code to make radio work again. I managed to get a code from the previous owner, but after putting it (using digit buttons for memoring stations) I haven't got a clue how to accept it. Ive searched through this forum but I couldn't find the way to get it working. If anyone can halp, appreciate that, as I hate driving with no radio.

You don't say which stereo but I took this from the RAVE cd which is for a 2001 freelander, don't know if this will help

The instrunction on that pic you put didn't work I'm afraid.
It's just diffrent type of radio, because it doesn't look like mine.
I don't what type it is so I took a picture of it.
I attached it to this post.
You put code like this:
you use number 1 on the radio to insert the first digit, so I keep pressing that button until I get the right digit, than the same with 2,3 and 4.
If anyone can help I'd appreciate it.

Thanks alot.

not sure myself, looking at the keys and the functions available, could be either the visteon unit or the philips, or neither. Judging by what you've said about code entry, I'd plump for the visteon. Therefore enter the four digits as before, then press the right search arrow ">" key to enter the code.

For the sake of completeness:

For the philips, switch unit on, press pre-set button 1. use forward or back arrows to scroll through until correct number is displayed at position 1, then press pre-set button 1 to store the first digit. then use forward or back until the correct number is displayed at position 2 and so on. when the correct four digits are shown in the display, press pre-set button 1 again to store the final digit, and it should be happy banana.

For the visteon, switch the unit on and code is dispalyed. press button 1 repeatedly until the correct digit is shown in position 1, then press button 2 repeatedly until the correct digit is shown in position2, and so on for all 4 digits. Then, with the full code displayed, press the right hand search control arrow ">" to enter the code.

And now we have reached the limit of my knowledge.

BEWARE: There is a warning attached to the Visteon unit, that 12 unsuccessful attempts, the unit becomes inoperable and cannot be repaired, even by the manufacturer. Therefore, all information given is for guidance only, and is used at your own risk. No liability is given or implied by this advice.

The philips just has ever increasing delays, doubling each time you get it wrong.

Good Luck

Unfortunately It didn't work with '>' button. I'll have to go and ask at the landrover garage, maybe someone will help. Thanks anyway!

Hello, I had a similar problem with my radio when disconnecting the battery. Although my radio is a cassette version, I made a note in the instructions to press the pre-set button one more time to accept the code and activate the radio after entering the four digits. This is not stated in the instuctions. I hope this helps.

ertin, which pre-set button did you mean to press???

Hi Huskee, the preset button number 1. However, I notice that the instructions for my radio are the same as the post above from biggeeee, so that may not help you!
