1991 560SEL radio blinks "WAIT" - cannot enter code

[HuskyMan]

I want to enter the *code into the radio but the radio only blinks "WAIT" and never gets to a place where I can enter in the *code. What to do?

This is a bit late, but I seem to recall needing to keep the head unit powered up for an extended period. Then, it would revert back to CODE.
