Default Radio Code Mode

Battery died, jumped car and radio was in SAFE mode. Long story short, wrong code entered twice so radio shut down for hour before being able to try again... or so I thought.

I couldn't get back into the code mode, even after a few days, so I disconnected battery (neg. term) for one hour and BINGO, I was able to get into the code mode and tried what I thought was a third correct code... no luck and it locked again.

I now have the proper code from the dealer, but cannot seem to get into the code entry mode any longer... Even with disconnecting the battery for an hour or two...

Ideas on getting into the code mode???

The radio has to be on for at least an hour displaying SAFE then it will switch to 0000 and you can try it again.
