Hi I just inserted the old cd player back into my vrs mk1 and I found the code on top of the cd player. I've entered the code but nothing happens, is there some secret 'ok' button I have to press after entering the code?

Do you know if this radio was fitted from new or only since you had the car?.

 

Normally the code is stored on the dash cluster so tends to reconnect to the radio again after a short while, If it is replacement and the code is different for some reason, you may require dealer assistance to access and release the code.

Turn on the radio. The display shows "SAFE”.
• After about 3 seconds "1000” appears in the display.
• Use the station button number 1 to enter the first digit of this code number.
• Repeat these steps with the station buttons 2 to 4 until you have entered the code number completely.
• Confirm the entry by depressing the control button (for about 2 seconds) or by pressing the control button.

The radio is now ready for operation.

Incorrect code number
If you enter the wrong code number inadvertently, the message "SAFE” flashes in the display. After a few seconds the message "1000” will appear. Enter the security code number again as described. If an incorrect code is confirmed again, the appliance will be barred for about an hour. After approximately one hour, whereby the appliance must have been left on for this time, the code number can be entered again as described in the above. This cycle continues until the right code number is entered.

If you no longer know the code number, please ask your Skoda dealer.

Comfort radio coding

• Your car radio is equipped with an appliance-specific security code. The security code need only be entered when the radio is used for the first time in the vehicle. After the first input of the code number, the radio "gets to know” its vehicle. Accordingly, it is not necessary to enter the code number after an interruption of vehicle voltage either. The radio automatically checks the vehicle’s data when turned on after the ignition has been switched on. It is only necessary to enter the code number if it becomes apparent that the radio is in another vehicle. If you did not receive any appliancespecific security code, your vehicle is equipped with a comfort coding system for which you do not require any code. If disconnecting and
reconnecting the battery, first switch on the ignition with the key in the ignition switch and only then turn on the radio. If you nevertheless still wish to have the code, please ask your Skoda Dealer.

Thanks for posting that, I was trying to find it earlier, obviously didn't try hard enough.
