I disconnected my battery on my 96 disco and now cant seem to get the radio working by entering the code. How should I enter my code? The number I have is 5 digits so Im not sure if it is the correct number.Any thoughts would really help. Ive imported the truck and cant check the code at LR

 

try holding down the band button until the word "code" appears, then punch in the numbers or try turning radio dile to get numbers to come up.

 

turn on truck > make sure radio is on and says "code" > enter 5 digit code

if this don't work, leave truck on (at least radio powered with "code" displayed) for about an hour, then type try the 5 digit code again.
if you enter the code wrong 3 times you have to leave the radio on for about an hour to reset itself and let you try 3 more times.

 

For those that care I was ready to toss the radio but phoned LR one more time to check the radio code and they gave the same number that would not work They advised me to remove the radio and call back with the serial number off the radio case and see if that would help My original code that had worked on a previous entry was not the same code they gave me after I included the radio serial number Very strange but I now can listen to Barry Manilow

 

Yea, the stereo must have been replaced then.

 

I have a 98 RR SE 4.0 and have the same problem...battery was just replaced now I see the CODE message...I have a 99 manual book which show a different stereo that the 98...where do you find the 4 digit code? Is it on the key fob? I accidently put in 4 "1"s...how do I clear it? PRess/hold "Band" like the Disco radio to clear?

 

If you never took the time to write down the key number in your owners manual, you might better call the dealer with your vin and have them get it for you from Rover and write it down.

ok, good to know. i bought it used from a Chrysler dealer, and the cards in the manual (which is for a 99 SE anyways), do not have the info (lest you think I am an idiot!). I will call the number in the manual. Thanks.

 

Just call land rovers customer service number which you can get from their website. They may have you fax them proof you own the vehicle, like a pink slip or reg. from the car & a copy of your lic. for example. Once they know the vehicle is really yours they can pull up the code via the vin #.
