Audi Concert Radio Code

[Sandra Grady]

Hipeeps. My sister has a 98' 1.8T Sport and it's been sitting since May. The battery died so I had to fit a new one today. I'm in the process of cleaning and selling it for her but the Radio has gone into 'safe mode'. What does this mean?

Press the SCAN and RDS buttons simultaneously and hold until "1000" shows on the display. Release the buttons. Do NOT press these buttons again, otherwise the radio will consider "1000" to be the code.

Use Preset buttons 1 ... 4 to enter the four-digit code number from your radio card. Preset button 1 corresponds to the first digit, Preset button 2 corresponds to the second digit, etc. Each press of the button increments the number by 1.

If an incorrect code is entered, the word "SAFE" appears, first flashing and then continuously. You can repeat the above steps to unlock the radio once more, the number of attempts will be shown in the display. If an incorrect code is entered again, you radio will be locked for about one hour. After one hour - the radio must stay on and the key must remain in the ignition lock - if the display goes out, the you can repeat the above procedure to unlock again. The cycle - two attempts, one hour lock-up - still applies.

As a result of the 2015 emissions scandal, the Volkswagen Group has updated their software. A simple task like unlocking your Audi radio now requires a full diagnostic that can cost upwards of 150 euros. Not only that, but you have to find time to take you car into the garage. We understand that this can seem unfair, which is why we offer a solution that is both convenient and cost-effective.

We are the only service who can provide VW radio codes 100% online, without the need for a full diagnostic. Not only is this option faster and more convenient, but it also comes at a fraction of the cost. Don't waste your time and money elsewhere - trust us to provide you with the VW radio code you need, without breaking the bank.

2. After taking out the radio, you should find a 14-character serial number branded on either metal or as part of a sticker. The serial will start with the letters AUZ, followed by 11 more characters. Pay close consideration to the capitalized 'I' which can be easily confused for the digit '1'. E.g. AUZ1Z1F6783428.

You can unlock your Audi safe code online using the radio identification number. You can see this serial number starting with AUZ on the radio display (for navigation only) or the label attached to the unit box. This online calculator is compatible with all the original units newer than 1998.
