Radio code says WAIT

My battery went dead and then the radio read CODE. I put the code in incorrectly 3 times now the radio reads WAIT. Any help out there?

Hi welcome to the forums, I am thinking you have a XJ40? 1988 onwards? There is a waiting time after inputting incorrect codes of <>30 minutes
If you have the correct code then it should accept it after the cool down period. If not then YouTube have some workarounds where pushing a combination of buttons fire up the radio.

Just read your profile and see its a ‘94 I will move the post to the correct forum

Much appreciated
