Same on all as far as I know.

After battery disconnection/reconnection turn ignition to ACC.
Radio shows "CODE"
Enter 4-digit code by pressing appropriately numbered preset station buttons.
If correct, radio will work.

If wrong code entered, radio shows "ERR".

If wrong code entered 3 times a delay period is activated. This period increases each time an incorrect code is entered.

just checked the manual and yeah i think im wrong.. (its not all that clear) just says "input code using radio preset buttons" which both methods technically are... but the other way would make more sense... and my codes 1243 which would be possible with both methods...

technically its limmited between 1111 to 1666, 2111 to 2666, 3111 to 3666, 4111 to 4666, 5111 to 5666 & 6111 to 6666. If you have any 7's,8's,9's or 0's, then you dont have the right code. As said above if the code is 6143, its simply the numbers 6-1-4-3.
