How to enter the s type 2001, car stereo security code.

Hello everyone,  this is my first time on this forum, am from Zambia  Africa. I am having a difficult time to enter the security code on the stereo for the s type 2001. I have the code and inputting the numbers is easy but after that, Which one is the enter button?

Hi Timothy,

Welcome to the club and I hope you're enjoying your S Type. I've attached a copy of the instructions that should accompany the card bearing the Security Code rather than trying to write it out for you and also because these may be useful to others. See attached.

From these you can see that an enter button is not used. However, the instructions are a little misleading and you do need to be careful not to get the code wrong as the security system will lock you out after I think three failed attempts - theres another thread on this site that explains how to get past that problem. To clarify what you need to do: -

1. With the prompt 'Code' displayed on the radio screen enter the first digit of your code and wait until you hear a 'beep' - this signifies that the radio is now ready to receive the code.
2. Now enter the full four digit code - including the first digit.
3. If you hear a beep between any of the four digits or after the last one you will need to start again from the beginning.
4. When the code is accepted I would expect the radio to return to its normal station selection screen.

I hope this and the attached helps.

Cheers,

Steve
