Does the radio work at all. or is the cd player the only issue.? most of the time you need to enter a radio code to unlock the radio. If you enter it wrong to many times it will display error on the display.if you dont know the code then you can call the dealership and get the code after you do the following below to get the serial number.
Press and hold 1 and 6 on the radio while still holding the 1 and 6 press the power button. At this time it will read off serial number

Not only check the fuse, use a test lite and check fuse circuit for voltage, hot all the time. The ground wire color for radio is black. Other than checking voltage and ground, I doubt I can help?
If the radio theft is activated, my info says, locked, should show on the radio display. After you figure voltage and ground, if locked shows up on the display, may info says you need a scanner to unlock 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!

Normally, the radio needs be on to show time for it to be set. Mine is that way. If you have the radio on when yor trying to set time and it won't show time, I don't know the answer. But mine does show time when radio is on to set it. Then radio off and time displays when switch is on.

continually press/release the center of the tuning know until you have the preferred display you want and then press and hold the same button until the system beeps (1-2 seconds). It will now save your preferred default screen (clock in your case)

Hello, here is the instructions for setting the clock

RDS Clock Time Broadcasters can choose to send clock time information in the RDS data. This information can be used to update the clock time on the radio. RDS clock time is broadcasted once a minute. To set the clock using RDS clock data perform the following:

• Press and hold the HR and MIN buttons together for two or more seconds to update the time.
• The display will show "UPDATED" after receiving the broadcasted time data. • If the broadcaster is not broadcasting the time data, the radio will display "NO UPDATE" and the time remains unchanged.

if this doesnt work, just simply push and hold the hr and minute buttons to set the time
• Press and hold the HR and MIN buttons together for two or more seconds to update the time. • The display will show "UPDATED" after receiving the broadcasted time data. • If the broadcaster is not broadcasting the time data, the radio will display "NO UPDATE" and the time remains unchanged.

Does it do this on all radio stations? Some stations don't broadcast that information, some do. Also there may be an info button somewhere on the radio, try pushing that to see if it comes up.

When you turn on the radio, it will say "codE" on the display. You have the 4-digit code number for your radio, to enter the first digit, press the "1" button on the radio the number of times until the first digit matches. For example, if your code is "2156" then, press radio preset button 1 two 2 times, then press radio preset button 2 one time, then radio preset button 3 five 5 times and finally preset button 4 six times.
THEN if the display is correct (should show 2156 in this example), press TAPE button. You should hear a beep and the radio should be working. If you make a mistake and enter a wrong code, the display will show "Err". You have 3 tries to get this correct or the radio may be toast. These are the steps for the stock radio in my 1995 GSX and they've worked for me each time I've lost battery power. Good luck!

The radios in the 2000 Mountaineer are notorious to short out. You simply have to get a new one. Believe me. I had the same problem.
