When you have WAIT showing on the display this means the radio has been asking for a code and too many incorrect code entries have been made. The radio is locked down because of this. This happens when the power has been lost to the radio and it needs a code to reactivate it.
When WAIT is on the display you must leave the radio turned on under constant power with the key in the ignition turned to accessories position on until the display turns to CODE or shows ----. You must leave the radio on for up to four hours with the power uninterrupted. The waiting period depends on how many incorrect codes have been entered.
The power to the radio must remain uninterrupted or the WAIT period will start all over again hence the reason why the key must be turned in the ignition to Accessories I
Once you have CODE or ---- back on the display you need to enter the correct code to reactivate it. If you do not have the correct code I suggest you go here and purchase the code from this website which is one of the few sites I know that can decode Becker radios online.
You need to send them the serial number of the radio and they will email the code back to you.
Hope it helps. Thanks for using FixYa.
