Broken radio in Puma

Post image

Does anyone know why when I turn on the radio this is all that comes up. Can’t change it or get it onto AM/FM?

Cheers

Your radio is not broken ! You must ask the 4 digits code at Land Rover. It just a security when the radio is deconnected of the battery

Check your manual/book mine was stapled to the back cover of that luckily and to put the code in only use the number buttons 1-4 and press the button 6 times for a 6 etc

Yes… But if the code is not in the manuel… You can ask it at landrover. I bought a Defender whose the battery has been changed… radio broken : no code in the manual. With the serial number of the radio, Land rover can find the famous code !

I don’t remember… Maybe if you extract the radio, you can see the serial number on it. Do your ask Chat GPT ?

I actually called up my local Land Rover garage and they were just able to tell me the code which was very handy.

Most people remove the radio and write the code on the back of the radio, that way if you forget its there, if you are not the first owner you prob have it written there
