I recently fitted a CD radio from a Renault Scenic 03 to to 1999 Scenic. One lot plug was different so I cut the wires then connected them up again - being carefult to connect the right colours.
I did a system reset by holding buttons 2 and 5 in when I switched on - and it seemed to work (radio, CD and column controls.
BUT - it beeps every few seconds, which I think indicates that it needs the code. The dis play does not show 0000 next to the time and temp display and I have changed the bulb behind the display and it works.
I have tried entering the code using the digits 1 to 4 (the number of times for the code then buttons 5 (and also tried 6). I have also tried to enter using the thumbreel and the enter button on the stalk - even though I can't see anything on the display.
the code 9355 The Code number is entered by using the remote steering controls, and not through the buttons on the fascia Please note that code entry is only possible when a numbers is flashing in the seperate display. If the display continually shows "WAIT" then the unit may be codelocked and will need to be left switched on up for up to two hours to reset before another code entry attempt is possible Code Entry as Follows:
Switch Radio On - Display Shows " CODE " Press " " On The Stalk Control To Enter " 0000 " Rotate " Thumbwheel " For Correct Digit Press " " On The Stalk Control To Enter Rotate " Thumbwheel " For Correct Digit Press " " On The Stalk Control To Enter Rotate " Thumbwheel " For Correct Digit Press " " On The Stalk Control To Enter Rotate " Thumbwheel " For Correct Digit If the correct code number is now shown Press And }}HOLD " " Until A Beep Is Heard

when trying blind it goes 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 This radio is designed to fit Renault vehicles that utilise a seperate display on the dashboard. It cannot be used in other vehicles that do not have this seperate display fitted have you tryed leaving it turn on untouched for 2 hours to see if it can reset itself.
note the radio does not lockout after a wrong code entry it only doubles the time to wait before the next retry...if a wrong code is entered it will display error then after the delay should display "0000")
I have left it turned for a few hours - when it is switched on the radion/cd plays but beeps every few seconds. After about 90 seconds the sound goes off.
I have tried to enter the code blind again with no joy - it just changes stations when I am turning the thumbwheel and continues to bleep.
It is really frustrating with no display to indicate what is happening.
bill this may be the reason but i dont think that model. is If you are trying to fit this radio to a different vehicle, then you may find yourself with annoying BEEP every few seconds. As well as having a conventional Radio Security Code number, this stereo is also electronically paired, or "Married" to the engine management system of the vehicle it came out of using very sophisticated VAN-BUS system technology your can try but only if it was in the car from the begining leave turned on untouched for as long as it takes to reset itself
