Talking Radio safety code

Greetings,

I have had to change my battery and my radio is now in safe mode. I have read somewhere that in some Audi's the code can be next to the spare tire, but with so many codes, I don't know what is what. The dealerships want $60 to give me something that is mine. I bought the car second hand and with no manual.
It's a 2001 TT.
If anybody could help, it would be greatly appreciated!

The radio and code maybe yours, but the time the dealer needs to get it is theirs.
I can normally help, but the guy that does it is off sick.

I don't think the code is anywhere on the build sheet in the spare tire well.I lost my A4 code and ended up buying a new radio for cheaper than the dealer will give me the code.I also have an A6 that I know the code for so I looked at the build sheet in the well and the code was not on it.I would have recognized it if it was there.So I think it's a myth.

Thanks for the reply.
You bring up a valid point, from the dealership point of view.
It would be great if you could help me out with this, whenever the guy that does that is back...
Hope to hear from you soon.

I will as soon as he's back. I'll need the radio's serial number and the car's VIN.

Sometimes the radio code will be on a work order from the dealership you've had it in for some work and they needed to disconnect the battery, worth a check?!
