OK - so I know I'm in trouble - the battery was dead - the radio code was lost - I tried the last 4 digits of the VIN without success expecting to have two more attempts and then - horror of horrors I got the dreaded flashing ERR after just one attempt at entering the code!!!
Surely there must be a solution to making the radio on my MK 2.5 work (audio type B unit).
It's a perfectly good unit - but the code never came with it (I'm the third owner) and now I'm supposed to believe the unit is useless. NO WAY.
Surely somebody somewhere knows how to bypass this and make the thing work. Mazda should be shot for making security that deprives the owner of his own radio.
There must be a sequence of buttons you press to make it burst into life again. Please help.
To be honest - if I have to buy a new unit because of this I'll never buy another Mazda again - I'm seriously P****d off.
Helpful suggestions very gratefully received. If worst comes to the worst - how much is a new unit anyway.
