Thanks for those links to the Memhis SQR88, Techman. Hopefully they'll help the OP (adamsomerset) solve the problem with his stereo, although entering a code without a functioning display can be difficult. In the past I've manged to do it with some of the Grundig car stereos where the only display was separate from the main unit. I'd forgotten that the Memphis also had the facility to enter the vehicle registration as well, b.t.w.
Glad you found the Grundig 4870 manual, as I know I only have two of their service manuals, neither for that model. I have heaps of Blaupunkt and quite a lot of Clation Manuals, plus some Lucas Audio, Motorola, Philips, etc., ones because the firm for whom I worked were agents for all those brands, and I kept a lot of the service manuals after they closed down in 1995.
