Hi chris,
Code wait is part of the built in anti-theft system BMW has for the radio. The ignition must remain in the on position for 1 continuous hour. Usually rush hour traffic does the trick. You will need the radio code to enter into the radio after it displays "CODE". just enter the code according to the buttons listed 1-6. ie if it ask for 13556, just enter the digits in that sequence. Make sure you have the correct code. If 3 unsuccessful consecutive entries are made, you will have to wait another hour.
When you say, "The ignition must remain in the on position.." Does it mean that the car needs to be fully on, or it just needs to be somewhat on? For example, I'm currently waiting for that hour, and I inserted my car keys, and turned in once (my mile display is not showing any lights), instead of fully turning on the ignition. Is this correct? Please help, thank you!
The key needs to be turned until the lights in the cluster illuminate, or if you have been driving for an hour. After the hour, the code wait should now say "code".
