Nope, no shortcuts. That's why they call it a theft deterrent. Assuming you have the right code, and you've maxed out the attempts, 3 I think it is, you just have to let it sit with the radio powered up for an hour. Acc is ok, I've heard it doesn't have to be all at one time, but unconfirmed, so it may not be, but turn it to acc for an hour and have another go at it.

Amazing! If anyone else comes back to this thread in the archives for help...

The number buttons of my radio have a tendency to refuse to respond when I input the numbers, so I just have to be patient and push the buttons firmly and for a second each.
