98 VW Cabrio - New radio installed no sound

I replaced the radio with an AIWA. Radio is powered. It receives a tremendous amount of stations, the problem is the speakers stopped working. I checked everything and a the connections are solid, the wires intact. There's not even background noise. It's almost as if theres some hidden switch not allowing the speakers to connect. Any ideas?

You have to go to the dealership and fork over $50 to get it. Unless you or the previous owner wrote it in the manual or anywhere else on the car, that's the only way.

SOURCE: 1995 VW GOLF RADIO CODE

I just replied to someone having the same problem with a Honda and saw one of the sponsors pop up in the Ads by Google box to the right that may help. I think with Hondas you have to go to the dealership where the car/radio was originally purchased and give them some numbers from the radio. The sponsor may charge to get the number for you but it may be worth a few bucks if that is the only solution. I didn't catch the web address or name - sorry.

You do not need to take the dash apart, there are two little slots oneon each side of the face of the radio, you need special removal tools to unlock it and it will pull right out, but first check in your owners manual, or in the spare tire well for the card, or sticker which has the serial number as well as the unlock code for your radio.

SOURCE: 98 VW Beetle used-no radio code- I have radio & car serial #'s...

I assume you have this unlocked by now, but here's an answer for someone else for the future :-)
if you have the original radio that come with the car, look in the wheel well in the trunk, where the spare tire goes. (yep, you'll need to stand on your head). there is a sticker that will have the 4-digit code on it.
enter that into the radio.
I can't remember off the top of my head which one it is, but either the >> Scan or the am/fm button will be the "enter key"

Factory alarm for 2001 cabrio, is it part of the radio?

No, it is not part of the radio unit proper. I have been driving my car since it was 3 days old without the factory radio. I could not tell you where the alarm is located, & I would not cut any of the original wires that lead to the radio to the harness, those might have something to do with the alarm, Vw tends to wire things funny

When I turn the radio on it show SAFE MODE on the screen. No radio sounds comes out. How can I get it working?

Could be that you need to re-set the radio with a factory numeric code. you can get the code at any VW dealer for a little charge.

Turn key but no starter sound, no click, no nothing. All lights, radio etc work fine.

You may still have a battery issue. The starter motor takes a tremendous amount of power to operate, where a light or radio draws much less current. I would attempt a jump start first to eliminate your battery and give you a direction in troubleshooting your issue.

I have a 1998 VW cabrio that I just replaced the battery and now the radio is in safe mode. I do not have the owners manual. How can I get the code?

You will have to call the dealer or search online for radio codes. You may have to remove the radio if you do it online to get reciever info. You may find the code on the back of the radio but usually not. Be prepared to pay for this info when you find it. If it was easy to get codes then they wouldnt be nessasary
