That means it has lost power, maybe the battery was disconected. Do not try to guess the code, if you enter the wrong code three times, it will lock. You need to get the serial number off the radio, and then BMW can get you the code. If you can not remove the radio yourself, take it to somewhere like Best Buy to have it pulled out. They will charge you much less than the hour of labor BMW will charge to pull it. Hope this helps.

1994 BMW 525 radio displays "CODE WAIT" after I put in the code numbers

You need to wait 1 hour before attempting to put the code in. Either the ignition needs to stay on 1 hour or drive it for 1 hour. If they key is turned off before then, you will need to start again.

What do i do for a blank radio display on a 1995 bmw 325i

The radios on older BMWs often have lighting issues where the display is dim or not functioning. To properly fix this, the radio needs to be removed. Open the hinged tabs that cover the bolts and use a small wrench to unbolt the radio. Remove the plastic cover and then pull off the top cover, usually held on with two screws. Remove the display circuit board and then the tape or CD player. This should reveal the main board. Check the bulbs to see if they are getting power. If they are not, they are burnt out. Replacing them is a little complicated but possible for a home mechanic

My 1995 bmw 525 that i just purchased has a locked radio. can i unlock it?serial number f31077848b

call that number in to the dealer, they have the code.

may have to wait 1.5hrs with key on ACC if you've tried and entered one wrong code.

do you have your very own BMW mechanic? If not, they won't give you the code and act real snooty to you. You can give them money for them so assign you a mechanic.

Bought a used 1995 Honda Accord,and need to reset the radio using the serial number on back of radio. The car was in an accident and the anti-theft devise on radio was activated, showing COde on the...

the start points for entering the radio code are either when the radio says code or displays an error 1, 2 or such. once you enter the code it should beep once and turn on. It sounds like you are following the procedure though. Is it possible the audio unit was damaged?

BMW Z3 WRONG UNLOCK RADIO CODE HOW TO GET THE RIGHT ONE

If the radio is displaying code wait, or wait, then the ignition and radio must remain on for 1hour. I would contact a dealer within the USA and provide them with your radio serial number. The serial number can be displayed in the radio by pressing and holding down the "M" button while turning on the ignition.
