Alpine multichanger

[DaveDreads]

Ive just been to car electronics in Nottingham
and the guy in there told me that no head unit is
compatible with my renault alpine multichanger,
except for the standard one.

Is he correct?

Im sure the previous owner had a different one
in because the key holes are a bit worn.

Nope only the standard headunit will work with the changer.

TITS!

Does anyone know how I can get the standard head unit timed out?

Ive had the keys in the ignition for an hour and it did nothing,
still wouldn't let me enter the code.

It needs timing out, can anyone help.

Im in Nottingham so need someone in the east Mids.

Scrap that, the adaptors are to fit aftermarket changers not the other way round! :dapprove:!

you've obviously got the code wrong several times.

you just have to wait it out until it allows you to enter the code again

The guy at car electronics never mentioned an adapter,
he was young so he might not know jack about it.

Someone must have had the same problem as me,
does anyone know how much these adapters are?

The stereo was locked out when I bought the car.

Guess I'll have to buy an extra battery
and let that one go flat while I wait for it to sort its
head out.

Cant really leave the keys in the ignition all day though
someone will nick it.

its either temporarily 'locked out' due to getting the code wrong too many times, or you simply don't know the code to re-enter it. if its locked out it will reset over time allowing you to put the code in.

Renault can give you the code if you dont have it.

Ive got the code, guess i'll just have to wait it out.

Problem is Ive been told by renault that it could
take an hour to reset.

Someone on the forum a few week ago told me that
it could take up to 24 hours.

Is there a maximum time that it will go up to,
or will it just keep going into infinity?
