IMPORTANT NOTE: You must have the security anti-theft code for your Audi radio from the car manufacturer, or from an Audi dealer! It's not enough to post the radios serial no for find the code, because it's an anti-theft code.

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!

My A3 1999 CAR RADIO IS STUCK ON SAFE MODE. NOTHING HAPPENS IT JUST SAYS 'SAFE' I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO OBTAIN THE CAR SERIAL NUMBER OR CAR MANUAL BOOKLET TO UNLOCK IT. HOW CAN I FIND OUT THE 4 DIGIT CODE...

Radio must be pulled from dash and serial number noted. You'll need radio tools. These are two keys that insert in the side of the radio to unlatch the securing locks.

Available on eBay. Few dollar$

Possible if radio still original, dealer may give you code numbers. However, you may have to prove you are the owner.

Sometimes the radio code is written on a sticker in the trunk next to the spare wheel..

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.
