Hi, seems like it should be easy but I've heard the stories about people trying to enter their codes and being locked out.
I've a 1997 Grand Cherokee, 4.0 LTD
I have the radio code but am not sure how to enter it, it's not in the manual and I've not tried anything yet. If Someone knows I'd be much obliged. :-)

Have you got a standard Jeep fitted radio ?

Would be good to know before offering advise :wink:

I know in my 2000 XJ and 2001 TJ, I had to enter the code using the radio preset buttons (numbered 1 to 5).

From the current manual:

Turn on power with the key (ON or ACC position), then turn on the radio.

CODE should appear on the display.

Enter the 4 digit code by pressing the appropriate preset buttons in sequence.

If an invalid code is entered, the radio will allow 2 more attempts. Once locked-up, the battery must remain connected and the radio left on (WAIT should be on the display) for approximately 30 mins, before CODE appears.

Hopefully it should be a similar procedure.

Just checked the older instrution manual and the waiting time is approx 2 hours!

Thanks. Yes I was a little over concerned. It was as easy as putting in the code and all is well. I had heard stories of things going wrong and specific ways of doing things, but once again the Americans make it real easy, nice.
Thanks for the advice. :-)
