You have to have the ignition on and the radio on. You should see the word CODE in the window. If you see ERROR ... then you have tried too many times and it will not take the code no matter how many times you try it.
What you have to do in this case is disconnect BOTH cables from the battery and touch them together for about 30 seconds. Then reinstall them and turn the ignition on and the radio and you should now see the word CODE. Put in the 5 digit number and on the 5th one you should hear a 'beep' and the radio should come to life.
