My mate and me went down to inverness a couple of weeks ago (130 miles away) and the first thing he said when we got out of the car was "you better lock the doors". that is the BEST part about living up here, you can leave you doors open (house doors), no need to lock your car when in town. I left Steve (my car) running (engine on) for 20 minutes when I was in the co-op today TOTALLY safe in the knowledge that he would still be there when I went back. why do they all have large gaps in their front teeth by the way? Is it so they can syphon petrol out of a tank faster? anyhoo. OK for me up here in the wilderness of Scotland to leave the ignition switched on 24/7/365 but if that was some poor bugger down in Liverpool (for example) the car would be twocked within seconds by permed Jimmy Tarbuck clones. the "hour" (however long this hour is in reality) means that the ignition must be left on for as long as it takes for the code (the lock) to clear. come back to car and, voila!, you can re-enter your code. the "wait one hour" thing doesn't mean pop into town, park the car, turn the ignition off, do a bit of shopping. erm, the radio has been locked you bloody moronic idiot! What I need to know is Nissan's definition of "1 hour", one guy in Italy has been driving about in his car for SEVEN months with the "wait one hour" message, he has taken up singing to himself in the car. "My radio has been locked" and the answer is "this is how to enter your code". The wealth of Google knowledge on this subject is absolutely abysmal. enter the code wrong ONCE and you basically have to buy a new radio? I was like "are you having a laugh?, I haven't just come down the Thames on a banana boat mate". I called a Nissan dealer and they said the radio would have to be sent off to be "unlocked" and it would really be cheaper to buy a new radio. I'm not an angry man but this episode makes me want to go and punch a tree! I've checked all over Google for "wait one hour radio" and it seems a LOT of people have problems with this. I already tried pulling the radio fuse, disconnecting the battery again and just plain shouting "you BASTARD!" at it. Sure, I'm all for anti theft stuff but to lock me out of my radio after one wrong code entry is ridiculous! I don't know what Nissan's idea of "1 hour" is but this is beyond a joke now! I've had the ign switched on for about 4 hours now and will leave it overnight again, barring that I can't see any way round it and will probably have to replace the radio. I feel like smashing the bloody thing with a hammer. ) waited and hour (with the ignition switched on), I waited two hours, three hours, OVERNIGHT! It's still saying "wait one hour". I mistakingly entered the wrong code and then it went to "wait 1 hour". I disconnected the car's battery the other day and when I reconnected it the radio asked me for the code.
