Qashqai system locked

Willow5

Newbie
Hi, my qashqai doesn't have a pin as such but the radio is saying SYSTEM IS LOCKED RED. I only swapped the radio for a newer radio and I have been advised that the radio is coded to the ECU. Does anyone know how to get the radio reprogrammed?
 
Ouch google suggests main dealer only as your car might not have had a standard radio but has other features like reversing cameras,sat nav etc.Was it a nissan radio or aftermarket/motor factors unit.
 
It is another OEM radio but from a newer MY year car (2019 as opposed to 2014). I tried several dealers but they all declined to get involved as it is non-standard and not recommended. Features wise they are identical in terms of reverse cameras and so on. I can glitch it into working temporarily by putting the car into reverse and kicking the camera's into life
 
Yes, everytime I switch off and on the ignition, it is powered off and on. It always resets itself to the default state
