Pull the radio out of the car and hit it three times, very hard with a large hammer. Turn the unit over and repeat.....
Then go and buy a decent radio to replace it. :wasntme:

From the Owners Handbook
Audio system security
SECURITY CODE
The security code is entered into the head unit
during manufacture; it is not necessary to enter
the code during normal vehicle usage.
However, in the event of a battery reset, e.g.
subsequent to a flat battery or head unit
change, the head unit will prompt for a security
code by displaying CDE 0000. Following an
interruption in power supply (battery
disconnect for example) ifCDE 0000 is not displayed, pressing button
5 will display the code entry screen.
Entering a security code
The vehicle is delivered to the user with a
security code card; the user must enter the
code using the numeric (radio preset) buttons
to resume operation of the head unit. Preset
buttons 1, 2, 3 and 4 correspond to each digit
of the security code. For example, if the code is
6789 the user must press the number 1 button
six times, the number 2 button seven times, the
number 3 button eight times and the number 4
button nine times followed by a single press of
the number 5 button to complete the code
input process.
If an incorrect code is entered
1CDE ERR will
be displayed and you will be asked to re-enter
the code correctly. If the code is entered
incorrectly three times
3CDE ERR will be
displayed after the third incorrect entry,
followed by SAFE. The audio unit will be locked
into safe mode for one hour during which time
it will not operate. The audio unit must be left
switched on for one hour. Once an hour has
past with the audio unit switched on, the
correct code can be entered.
In the event that the head unit code card is lost
the user should seek advice from the dealer to
retrieve the code for their head unit. The user
will be required to produce some form of proof
that they are the rightful owner of the vehicle
e.g. the log book or a purchase receipt (if
bought second hand, for example) before the
dealer is authorised to issue the code. This
condition is imposed to prevent stolen head
units being used.

Yesterday I disconnected my battery PUMA 2012, and needed to reenter the security code. Followed the instruction in my handbook which says to complete the entry with RND button (not 5). This didnt work so finally after a few stabs in the dark got it to accept by pressing button 5. Just like it says in the quote above.
So dont believe everthing you read in the handbook.
