hey guys, ive refitted my original skoda radio,

all its showing is "SAFE"

when i try and enter my 4 digit radio code it just stays saying "SAFE 0409"

what do i have to press next?

download the manual from the link in the sticky thread in the octavia I forum.

after you have entered the code press the ▲ arrow on the rocker button the right hand side.

cheers guys, all sorted no, only thing now is it doenst turn on/off unless i hit the button.

i know with an alpine HU you switch the red/yellow bullet connections, but cant see any on the standard loom

To get it to turn off when you remove the ignition key you need to select 'KEY ON' in the settings menu.

cant seem to find this settings menu?

Press and hold then release the 'TP' button to access the settings menu. Use the ◄◄ and ►► rocker switch to toggle through the menu, to change a setting use the volume knob, to store the setting press either the TP or ►► button.

right the issue i have at the moment is i cant find the "Key on" setting previously mentioned.

also the backlight isnt working

still cant work out why the backlight for the display isnt working,

or why it doenst turn on when key is in ignition/ turn off when removed

both likely to be caused by a blown fuse. I bet if you left the radio on, it will turn itsel off after about 1hr,

Don't worry about it, I was just being a complete mong all along!

It was turning itself off after an hour, no back light, not turning on/off with ignition and the multichanger wasn't working!!!

All sorted when I took the hu back out, realised I hadn't plugged the 3rd connection in! Doh!! Feel like a bit of a muppet
