I cant get my 1998 Audi A6 radio of safe mode

Look in the owner's packet in the glovebox. There's a second book specifically for the stereo system. There should be a detachable card in there with a four-digit number on it. That's the radio code. The stereo manual explains how to enter it to unlock the radio. If you don't have that code, you'll need to take the car to the dealership. With proof of ownership of the vehicle, they can look up the code and enter it for you (make sure they write it down for you for future use, and show you how to enter it, since they're going to charge you an hour's labor or so to do this).

My battery died and now that I put a new battery my stereo is stuck on a safe mode, how do I unlock it?

You should have a code that came with the owners manual to put in the stereo, if not you`ll have to call dealer for instructions.

I cant get stereo out of safe mode

this is a security feature that Audi does on their OEM stereos. you have to go to the dealer and ask them to get you the security code to unlock it. check if you still have your original factory manual, as it should be listed in there.
