Re: 86 5K stereo replacement

You failed to mention to the list what the model of the stereo was (audi
delta, gamma, etc).  That information would be helpful to the list to help
troubleshoot your problem. I was curious does the radio say SAFE on the
display after you enter the correct passcode?  If it does then your passcode
isn't taking.  BTW, I believe also if you enter the wrong passcode several
times in a row there is a waiting period of several hours before you can
attempt to re-enter a passcode again. Could that be part of your problem?

Good Luck.
