A friend of mine has a Seat Toledo, and since going to the garage the other day the stereo is stuck in SAFE mode and won't accept its start-up code.
The mechanics are denying its anything to do with them (inevitably )! And I'm unable to find a fix on the net. Any ideas anyone?

Sounds like they disconnected the battery ..... and then put in the wrong code 3 times .... Their C**k up so they should replace the stereo.... If they wont then try contacting the manufacturer they should be able to give him some hints /tips.

check the warrenty or go to a specialist

I've been trying to find out on the Seat website but to no avail as its one of these built-in ones!
Do you think leaving it unhooked from the battery for a couple of hours might clear its memory?

Unhooking it HAS cleared the memory ...... thats the problem  :(

Have you done a google on Seat ... I have come up with loads of pages .... just trawling through them to see if I find anything useful .... Alternatively try the VW sites... the Toledo is essencially the VW Passat with a different badge ... and if my memory serves me right from my Car hire days then the radio's are the same.

I found this link which might be useful ....seems to be international so a translator may be useful  :o

good luck

Thanks Eno

The car's (or radio's) manual should help,too.

The car manual is slightly less use than a chocolate oven glove Of course Seat install their own stereos
