I'm in South Australia & have a Nov / 06 Tribute.
Unfortunately the radio code didnt come with the car - Previous owner had dimentia & all books have been lost.
I have contacted Mazda but they say they cant retrieve the code.
I have tried Blues way to reset the code but that doesn't work for me.
I don't have the same buttons on the radio.
When i enter the 4898 code 4 times the security locks me out and i have to wait 30minutes for it to reset.
I don't get the ERR code. Just the Lock 3000 and then the system counts down to 0.
Then i can try again.
Is there another way to reset the code without having to remove the radio & send away?
Here in Australia the radio buttons read as per photo.
Could anyone help me with the reset order please?
Thank you in advance,
