Re: I brought my son a 1997 Audi, and the radio is in...
- Turn on radio. The radio display shows "SAFE".
- Press the P.Scan and RBDS buttons simultaneously and hold
until "1000" shows on the display. Release the buttons. Do NOT press
these buttons again, otherwise the radio will consider "1000" to be the
code.
- Use Preset buttons 1 ... 4 to enter the four-digit code
number from your radio card. Preset button 1 corresponds to the first
digit, Preset button 2 corresponds to the second digit, etc. Each press
of the button increments the number by 1.
- Once the code shown on the display is correct, press the
P.Scan and RBDS buttons simultaneously and hold until the word "SAFE"
appears in the display, then release the buttons.
- The radio should unlock and be usable shortly afterwards.
- If an incorrect code is entered, the word "SAFE" appears,
first flashing and then continuously. You can repeat the above steps to
unlock the radio once more, the number of attempts will be shown in the
display. If an incorrect code is entered again, you radio will be
locked for about one hour. After one hour - the radio must stay on and
the key must remain in the ignition lock - if the display goes out, the
you can repeat the above procedure to unlock again. The cycle - two
attempts, one hour lock-up - still applies.
- If you lose your radio code, contact your Audi dealer.
