The radio code should be on a credit card which is in the car's documentation
If you don't have the code then contact your local Jaguar dealer, they should be able to look up the code on their computer using the VIN
Once you have the number......
Turn the key in the ignition until the warning lights shoe
Switch on the radio by turning the on/of knob clockwise
The radio should be blank
Enter the 4 digit code using the preset buttons.
If an incorrect code has been entered......
Hold the CATS button for at least 3 seconds, the number should disappear
Enter the correct number
You only have 3 goes to get it right - if you've entered 3 incorrect numbers you'll need to contact your Jaguar dealer to find out how to release the radio,. This may involve:
- disconnecting the battery
- reconnecting the battery
- running the car for at least an hour
- repeating the steps above

2) Reconnect the battery
3) Switch on the radio - you should have a blank display
4) Use the preset buttons (1-6) to enter the 4 digit security code
You have a limited number of attempts to enter the code (3 I think) before the radio locks you out

How do you get a 1998 Audi radio out of safe mode?
I just purchased a 2009 Jetta SE and the radio was in SAFE 2 mode. The dealer tried the radio code but could not get the radio to a point to enter it. I read a number of threads and tried many suggestions, leave the car in the Aux mode for an hour, hold down the seek and mode buttons etc. Finally I disconnected the battery waited a few moments and re-connected. I figured maybe this would show me the screen to enter the code but instead the radio booted up with no code and works fine. The dealer suggested I return when the service dept was open, none of the sales people had a clue.

How do you Fix your radio in your 1999 SLK230 that is stuck in WAIT mode?
You need the 5-digit code for the radio. The system locks when power has been disabled or the radio removed from the vehicle. Call a MB dealership. I have the same problem with my '99 SLK230. I know the code too. The book says if power has been interupted and the code has been entered incorrectly more than 3 times, the system will lock itself out. However, the book also says that once the radio is on again it should reset itself in 10 minutes or so. I have let my car run with the radio turned on for more than 30 minutes and it didn't reset so I could enter the code. Now, does anyone know how to fix this?

Press and hold down the "mode" button until the radio beeps, then enter the code. I can't remember if you have to press "mode" again after entering the code or not, but i don't think so. If you don't know the code to your radio you will have to go into a L.R. dealership and they can tell it to you.

You just changed the battery in your Mercedes Benz 1986 190 E and now you can't get the radio to turn on?
When you unhook your battery cables, it clears your "code" on your radio. It will have to be reset before the radio will work. I copied and pasted the below info for you....On mine, I enter my code using the number buttons for your preset station then push mode button. When the radio goes to "CODE" you need to enter the correct code. This can usually be obtained from a dealer, even if the radio has been switched; otherwise you need to return it to Becker. I don't believe there's a "reset" function like on the newer radios. It either goes to "CODE" or works. If you enter the wrong code more than three time the radio will lock up and needs to be left on for as long as twenty four hours, before CODE will come up again. The dealer if they are decent can supply Mercedes radio codes with the VIN or the radios serial number. Becker will do the same but will Charge you $30.00.
