Philips CAR 400 car radio in safe mode?

Hi
I have an M reg vauxhall astra with a car 400 radio. The radio is in safe mode so I am unable to enter the code. I have tried holding AS button whilst switching on the unit but it remains in safe mode. Can anyone think why or offer an alternate solution.

my thanks in anticipation

John

He displays 7safe and after a certain period of time in case of code displays the number 7 and zeros and not the four dashes to put the code. I have the code.
If someone can help !!!!! if I can make reset!!!

1. Turn the stereo off.
2. Turn off the ignition
3. Turn the ignition back on (dash warning lights on)
4. Hold and keep down the AS button on the stereo.
5. Turn the stereo on.
6. Release the AS button after 4 dashes appear on the display
7. Now enter code (if code = 7009. Press preset button 1 seven times, button
2 once
3 once
4 nine times
If you go past you can go round again by pressing the
preset button repeatedly
8. Once all 4 numbers are correct hold down AS again until you hear a beep (2 - 5 seconds)
9. The stereo after beeping will scan to program channels
I followed the steps and worked for me

Hello there,

I followed the instructions step by step as indicated below:

1. Turn the stereo off.
2. Turn off the ignition
3. Turn the ignition back on (dash warning lights on)
4. Hold and keep down the AS button on the stereo.
5. Turn the stereo on.
6. Release the AS button after 4 dashes appear on the display
7. Now enter code (if code = 7009. Press preset button 1 seven times, button
2 once
3 once
4 nine times
If you go past you can go round again by pressing the
preset button repeatedly
8. Once all 4 numbers are correct hold down AS again until you hear a beep (2 - 5 seconds)
9. The stereo after beeping will scan to program channels

However from step 4,5 & 6 does not work for me.

I took the list of instructions to a local var garage who advised i need to turn the radio on - drive the car about for quite a while - and after a certain period of time the safe mode will automatically will start flashing into the 4 dashes (which i need to in order to enter the code)

Can you please confirm this is correct?

Please advise / update ASAP
