My radio is in 2 SAFE mode on my 2004 Audi TT. My mechanic had to disconnect the battery to replace some parts on my car. when he turned the car on the radio was in 1 Safe mode. The code in the manual he entered was incorrect. We had 1 try left and received the corrected code however when I entered the code the instructions were not thorough & now my Radio is in 2 SAFE mode. Can you help please!

IMPORTANT NOTE: You must have the security anti-theft code for your Audi radio from the car manufacturer, or from an Audi dealer!
The sequence of programming for Audi radio is:
1. Push simultaneous "SCAN" and "RDS" keys until on the screen will appear "1000" displayed.
2. Release keys. No more push on "SCAN" and "RDS" keys because otherwise number "1000" will be considered as first safe code attempt.
3. By the #1 key you will set up the first safe code digit.
4. By the #2 key you will set up the second safe code digit.
5. By the #3 key you will set up the third safe code digit.
6. By the #4 key you will set up the four-th safe code digit.
7. Then push again simultaneous "SCAN" and "RDS" keys for confirm this safe code. On the screen will be displayed "SAFE" notice. Release keys! For few seconds a radio frequence will be displayed. The radio is now ready for use!

    That solution doesn't work once it gets to 2 safe mode. It only works when it simply says "safe", not "2 safe"

What buttons do i push to take the concert radio in my 2002 audi TT out of safe mode and in code mode to reset it

IMPORTANT NOTE:
You must have the security anti-theft code for your Audi Concert radio from the car manufacturer, or from an Audi dealer!


You can find the radio code at: http://www.radio-code.co.uk/

The sequence of programming for a 2002 Audi TT Concert radio is:
1. Simultaneously push "SCAN" and "RDS" keys until on the screen will appear "1000" displayed.
2. Release keys. No more push on "SCAN" and "RDS" keys because otherwise number "1000" will be considered as first safe code attempt.
For example: we have the security code "5079". Then:
3. By the no.# 1 key you will set up the first safe code digit. Push 5 times on the no.# 1 button. The "5" number will be setted.
4. By the no.# 2 key you will set up the second safe code digit. Push 10 times on the no.# 2 button. The "0" number will be setted.
5. By the no.# 3 key you will set up the third safe code digit. Push 7 times on the no.# 3 button. The "7" number will be setted.
6. By the no.# 4 key you will set up the four-th safe code digit. Push 9 times on the no.# 4 button. The "9" number will be setted.
7. Then simultaneously push again "SCAN" and "RDS" keys to confirm this safe code. On the screen will be displayed "SAFE" notice. Release keys! For few seconds a radio frequence will be displayed.

The radio is now ready to use!

Need code for Audi TT radio because it is in 2 safe mode also turn signals light up but have to work the arm manualy to get them to work

New vehicles are supplied with a radio operating manual. The radio code is printed on a removable card in the manual. If you don't have this the code is only available from Audi dealers. Once you have the code you can enter it by pressing and holding the TP and RDS buttons together until the display shows 1000. Then press the channel 1 button repeatedly until the first digit of the code is displayed in position 1. Use channel button 2 in the same manner to enter the2 nd digit of the code. 3rd button for 3rd digit, 4th for 4th digit. once you have the full code entered, press and hold TP and RDS buttons together again until display reads safe. Release buttons and radio should come on.

I have an audi TT Coupe, how can i reset the radio out of safe mode ???

Try disconnecting batt+ for 10 or so minutes and re connect battery but you will have to enter the security code if you enter it wrong it will lock. If you dont have the code you need to call service dept. with v.i.n.#

Hope this gets you tuned in!

Radio on 2002 audi TT not working

It is highly likely that the radio will have lost its security code whilst being disconnected from its power supply (your battery).

Any local dealer will re enter your code for you for a small charge unless you have the code stored in your radio user guide in which case you can re-enter the code yourself.

Instructions to unlock stereo

If you don't want to spend the 135, find out the name of the dealer who origonally sold the car when new. They should have the code on file form the pre inspection that they did. It is a myth that there is a code inside the trunk or on the radio, so don't waste your time looking.

Instructions to unlock stereo

THIS WAS POSTED ON THE AUDI TT CLUB WEB SITE.

Turn on the radio. The word "SAFE" appears on the display.

* Press the FM2 and RDS buttons simultaneously and hold them down until "1000" lights up in the display. Release buttons. Do not, under any circumstances, continue holding them down or press them once again. This would cause the radio to consider the number "1000" to be the input code number.

Use stations buttons 1 - 4 to enter the code number on your Radio Card.( THE RADIO CODE SHOULD BE WITH THE OWNERS MANUAL-??) Use button 1 to enter the first digit of the code number, button 2 to enter the second digit, and so on. Station buttons 5 and 6 cannot be used.

* Once the code is shown in the display, press the FM2 and RDS buttons again simultaneously and hold them down until the word "SAFE" appears on the display. Soon afterwards, a frequency will be displayed.

(If you do not have the "Radio Code", the Audi dealer, or someone, will have to pull the radio out to get the serial number off of the back.)

The radio can now be used again.
