[alkesh]

hello, ineed help with my galaxy satallite navigation system keycode.

it is an x reg model 2.8 auto.

i recently had to disconnect the battery. therefore when i connected it. the display is now showing safe and have to input a code using the dial. now i have the code but i cant put it i the screen looks like its frozen. i asked ford but they want

trouble is - with a single post and no history here - difficult to tell if its a true story (sorry if I offend you) - could easily be a stolen unit :16:

I would suggest contacting the maker of the unit.Or pay the ford price im afraid. :16:

it is not a stolen item. i had the repaired because the radiator was leaking, and the mechanic disconnected th batt. i a have been to ford and they first said i need to switch the ignition on (on setting 1) and leave it for 30mins and i will be enter the code. but this did not work hence i require your help. i have joined the forum a while back but never had a problem with my car. therefore this is my first post. any help will be appreciated.

ok...i see your point but surely you can see ours.We did not mean to offend you but we dont help or give out in regards to radio codes on here to new members.

 

obviously it is not a code you need as you say you have the code,it is just the screen, so maybe someone will be able to help you, as im afraid i cant as i know nothing about them! :D

its not the screen. i get the info come up to put the code in but the dial which u use to input it does not work. now its possible it needs a special code to activate the dial so that i can input the code that i have.

Have you tried contacting the maker of the unit???in what way does the dial not work???I have buttons to input mine,

[alkesh]

i cant contact the manufacturer because i and ford dont know which model it is or who the make is behind the ford badge.i once was told it by FORD RNS MFD system excatly like this one(http://www.blaupunkt.com/de/7612001040_main.asp). the way the dail works is that on the screen you get number 0 to 9 and u use the dial to highlight the number and press the dial to select.now the dial does not allow me to highlight the numbers.

if the screen is showing safe ,and you cant input the code, you have 2 possible problems, 1 is that you simply havent left it powered for long enough. (some units take up to an hour and a half) or 2 when replacing the battery lead it has spiked the unit (was the unit switched on when the lead was put on?) you could try disconecting the battery for a few minutes if this is the case.

thank u for that evss its possible u r right i only left it on for 30mins as per ford instructions. i rang blaupunkt and they said to leave the car on for 1hr at least until it reset to 0000. so thank u all for your help. i shall report back if it works.
