Philips 201 in safe mode
|
New member Username: NovanutAberdeen, Aberdeen United Kingdom Post Number: 1 Registered: Jun-20 | Hi, I have a Philips SC 201 in my Nova and it went into safe mode after the battery being disconneted. I put in what I thought was the code (clearly I have forgotten it) but it was wrong and now the display says safe mode and when you switch on the ignition the display says 5----. Is there anything that can be done or is it knackered now? |

New member Username: NovanutAberdeen, Aberdeen United Kingdom Post Number: 6 Registered: Jun-20 | Thank you very much for getting me the code, I have no idea how you do that! However when I switch the stereo on in the car it just says safe mode and doesn't move from that display until I switch on the ignition where it has 5---- and does not respond to any botton being pressed at all. Has it permanently locked itself or am I doing something stupid? |
