Suggestion
My set locks out very frequently (cure according to OPC is £500 for a new one) but I read another thread about 1) isolating set from the main supply (red fuse) but leaving the stand-by supply intact (thereby obviating need to use codes every time the set goes AWOL) 2) using the special reset code.
Leading evidence: 'Reset code' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Reset code' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi.
I picked up a 996 this week (finally!) and after typing in what appeared to be the security code for the stereo I got locked out. Subsequently I found another card with a different code (looks like an upgrade), however the stereo simply displays 'WAIT' when switched on. Anyone have any ideas? Is this a garage reset job?
Thanks
Pete

I had a similar prob with my merc, it was local dealer who sorted out the problem by resting the system. Suggest you call your local OPC

I had a similar problem. As far as I remember when you type in the correct code, it comes up as WAIT (as you mentioned). You then have to wait up to 1 hour, without turning the ignition off(i.e drive) and it should come back(assuming the correct code was entered)

Ok guys.
Spoke to a very helpful OPC on this matter (Dick Lovett of Bristol). To reset the stereo hold down the 1, 3 and TP buttons simultaneously. When you swtich it back on you will have to wait for a while (30 minutes in my case) and you are able to enter the security code again.
On another note does anyobody know where the aerial is installed in the 996? I have an Ipod with a small FM transmitter and the signal is very poor in the porsche. Worked fine in the last car (vauxhall corsa). It seemed enough to put the transmitter in close proximity to the stereo in the corsa but to no avail in the 996.
Cheers

Thanks for that info, Pete. I have been waiting nearly 2 years for my local OPC to tell me the "special (secret)" code to use on difficult Becker radios.

PS the aerial runs up the centre of the windscreen and is connected bottom RHS corner via a short fly lead. Might only be accessible with the screen out...
