Hello all, since taking the battery out of my clio (R reg 97) its reset the standard radio code and am having immense trouble re inputting it. I had two codes, one inside the service manual ("radio code" 8660) and another one the previous owner wrote down on a peice of card also inside the service manual ("code" 0487). Theres nothing inside any of the manuals to do with the radio.

I can input both numbers but nothing happens when i finish the last digit, ive tried every button on the radio except the number 6 which appears to reset it not allowing me to input another code for about 12 hours or until i disconnect the battery again. below is a picture of the radio fascia.



I thought the number 5 might be be like an enter button but does nothing,and like i said the number 6 resets it. To enter the code i have to use the numbers 1-4 for the 4 digits, much like a combination lock pushing the buttons till the correct number comes up!

Does anyone else have a similar factory standard radio similar to this, I think our old E class mercedes had a similar blaupunkt radio so am calling on all similar radio owners for help please please please
 
Mum had that headunit in her old Clio, and I remember it wasn't logical in the slightest about how to enter the code - ended up reading the manual! (Yes, minus 10 man points!).
 
If I rember right 5 is the enter button! It took me a while to enter the code and trying to explain it to my dad was bad enough.

I'm positive my mum kept the wallet from the old car with the book in it but shes at work at the moment.

I've read holding 6 in for a long time is the enter button on some renault units.
