This is the default mode from a fresh install. It seems to have been re set
somehow, sometimes a power spike, jump start or similar can cause it, or
kids putting pennies through the cassette flap. (You wouldn't believe how
much money I retrieve from inside stereo's)

Lobster presented the following explanation :
Bingo! Sorted; thanks very much.

Do you know what would have prompted this behaviour? I'm sure that in
the past if ever I've disconnected the power, the unit switched on
silently, asking for the code immediately.

Cold weather, high cranking current, lots of voltage drop and perhaps an
almost flat battery as a result... The radio perhaps thought it had been
disconnected from the battery briefly.
