Restarting radio

[munro86]

Had to fix horn bushes yesterday (filled with high temp silicone-works great),and consequently had to disconnect negative lead to the battery. So when I went to input radio code to reactivate it, the first number starts flashing on/off etc. I repeated this process three times and it keeps returing to the first number. The number is correct ( I'm reading in off a card found in the folder with manual etc etc) Is there something I'm missing?

I don't have a CDR-21 manual but his is what the CDR-210 manual says:

Entering the antitheft CODE

This radio renders itself inoperative in the case of theft. If the radio or car battery is disconnected, the radio automatically disables itself. Once the radio is reinstalled or the battery is reconnected, the word "CODE", with a flashing letter "C", and the digits 1-0 appear in the display. Prior to use, the correct code must be entered via the multifunction keys.

Example: CODE 1530 (Preassigned to each radio and supplied to the owner on the PORSCHE RADIO CODE CARD) is entered by pressing the multifunction keys in sequence.

After the first digit is entered, the word "CODE" disappears and the number is displayed followed by three dashes. As digits are entered, the next line in sequence flashes. When all four numbers have been entered, the first digit flashes. At this time you can overwrite the code as often as necessary. To correct any error, you must enter the complete code. Once the correct code is displayed, enter by pushing the signal seek switch.
