eurotec :

Hi, if you post your 17 digit VIN number I can look up your radio code in the morning when I get to work. As far as WAIT mode is concerned you need to leave the key turned on to position 1 (first click) and leave the radio turned on until WAIT changes back to CODE. It usually will reset within 2 hours but can take as long as 24 hours.

Customer :

eurotec :

Ok, I'll look up your code first thing in the morning.

Customer :

ok and you wil post here or send to email

eurotec :

I will post it here.

Customer :

ok..

Customer :

on the wait code do I need to leave the key in the position 1 until is resets and wait as long as 24 hours in the first position?

eurotec :

Yes, but I doubt it will take that long.

eurotec :

The radio must remain on.

eurotec :

If you turn the radio off the wait time starts all over again.

Customer :

oh ok.. let me try tyat

Customer :

tha

eurotec :

ok

Customer :

So I can leave the key in position one until it resets and it will not drain the battery

eurotec :

If it takes longer than a couple of hours you will need a trickle charger on the battery. It probably won't take that long.

Customer :

a Trickle charger?

eurotec :

A small battery charger.

Customer :

to do what?

eurotec :

The radio can reset in as little as 15 minutes. I'd just turn the key on and check on it every 15 minutes.

Customer :

ok thanks..

eurotec :

The small battery charger is to keep the battery from dying if you have to leave the key on for too long.

eurotec :

I don't think you will have that problem.

Customer :

It a new battery ..lol

eurotec :

you should be fine :-)

eurotec :

I need to step away for awhile. I'll reply in the morning with your code.

Customer :

great

Customer :

Checking on the status

eurotec :

Good morning

Customer :

good morning ..

eurotec :

Your radio code is 25164

Customer :

let me try that

eurotec :

ok

Customer :

that did it ... Thanks again .. for all you help

eurotec :

Excellent! You're quite welcome.

eurotec :
