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?

Sorry, I should have said the only numbers I can see on the unit are 90355876 and there is a wee sticker on the side with 460/75B 92025 197

Hello,
You must have the serial number engraved on the metal case of the radio
Example:
GM0201x xxxxxxx

Hi, thanks for the reply, I have studied the case and even taken the top and bottom covers to look inside them and I cannot find a serial number on it anywhere, sorry.

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?

It works!!

THANK YOU all for the help and advice, I doubted there would be anyway of getting a locked radio from 28 years to go but geniuses here have sorted it, much appreciated.
