My radio unit went dead a few days ago. The dealer had one on order to replace mine. However today all of a sudden it came alive and prompted "ENTER CODE" on the dash console display.

What code is it referring to? Audio code? Navigation code?
And how do I enter the code?

Any help is appreciated. I am going through the manuals and so far no luck.

 

I found the answer in the Owner manual near the end of Audio section.
Basically this is the Audio security 5-digit reset code.
And you use the audio preset buttons (the round 1-6 buttons) to enter the code.

I definitely will push for a swap out of this radio unit.
The known soldering problem explains this mysterious came-back-alive behavior.

At least know I got all my DVD-A discs out.
I will make copies of them and play the copied discs only.

 

This is not really the point of the thread, but how do you copy DVD-A's?

 

I plan to download trial software or purchase one of the DVD-A authorizing software out there.

My new radio unit is getting here tomorrow so I might not have to do this.

Quick update - I had the brand new replacement radio unit for a few days now and so far no problem.

 

In case you care, I use this --> http://www.cirlinca.com/

It works really well. Beware - some of the packages out there that claim to allow you to author DVD-A discs only do so in 2ch stereo. Ulead Burn.Now is an example. Others bill themselves as Audio DVD programs, and burn just that - Audio DVDs, not DVD-Audio.
