LS1/A4

Just curious, I need to pull my battery on my 01 A4 and I don't have a radio code. I was wondering if there is a way to disable safe mode while the radio is in normal mode so it dosen't lock out. Kind of like GM cars.

Sorry to say that there is no way. Unfortunately a trip to the Audi dealer is required in order to pull the radio code. They will pull the code and invoice you for about 100 bucks. good news is that once you have the code(unless you lose it) you never have to give it back.

That is not an option. I'll try and locate the code if it's hidden somewhere or use some sort of on-line feature.

good luck, let us know what you decide, and how it works out for you

Do you have the original owners' manual? It should be printed on an insert within your manual.

I have the owners manual but I can't see anything written on or attached to it.

It should be located on the original owners manual for the Audi Symphony, it unfortunately is not included in the actual vehicle manual. I went through this not too long ago. I spent two weeks in safe mode after a visit to an indy garage. I finally broke down and went back to the dealership, they pulled the code, gave it to me and unlocked safe mode. Good luck, and let us know if you find another way to get that code. I would love to know for future second hand Audi vehicle purchases.

Hey man its only 9999 codes, +1 for the 0000, its worth saving the money and enetering each one. LOL the ones I have mostly seen start with a 0 so that narrows it down to the first 999. To pull the radio you need special tools that cost you like $20 ish and then the hastle and all that....I would take it to the dealer, because the online places usually barely ever work, from what I have heard but good luck with your choice

Nothing 77 is right on the money, it is located in the Sound System Audi concert Operating Instruction manual. Mine starts with a zero as well....It does state to contact an authorized Audi dealer if you lose the Radio Card containing the code number. You will need the Serial number to reference it.

i was told today by the audi steelership that this number is located in the trunk where the spare tire is? thus true?
