Hi Chaps, look forward to being an active member as newbie and proud owner of an 05 S-Type. 

Now, its just been in for some work and the mechanical guys had to disconnect the battery, I have gone to start the car and radio displays code required, I thought I had entered the right code, but I didnt !!. Left the car for some 3-4 hours, returned with the correct card code but when trying to enter the system is just hanging and now says please wait and the code does not seem to want to be entered  ???

Any ideas, all was working fine with no probs prior to the fix being carried out, (which had nothing to do with the radio, it was a water leak in the engine bay).

your assistance greatly appreciated - have a great day to you all

Hi Paul, and welcome to the club,

I am an expert at this job, having done it a dozen times when the  message "Parkbrake fault] comes up.

I would recommend that you disconnect the battery for a few minutes and then start again,

Let us know if this works,

Regards,

Peter.
