Default Radio Code



I have a 97 A4 and I just changed my battery. Now my radio says SAFE. I have my code but I dont know how to enter it. I dont have the radio manual. I called the dealer and he told me to bring it in so they can look at but they wont tell me how to enter the code. They just want to rape me for some more money...</P>


Can someone help me.</P>

SAFE mode unlock procedure for Delta head unit

1) Park car. (Note: Experienced radio unlockers have been known to perform this task while driving, but it is extremely dangerous and may result in a fatal crash. Not advised.)

2) Turn radio on. SAFE will show in the display. (Note: The car does not have to be on, nor does the key have to be in the ignition or in any position.)

3) Press the hold the FM1/2 and DX 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.


4) Enter your radio code. Use the radio station preset buttons (1, 2, 3, 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. So for example, if your code was 1927 you would press...

- 1 0 times
- 2 9 times
- 3 2 times
- 4 7 times

Which would show 1927 in the display.

5) Once the code is shown on the display press FM1/2 and DX buttons again SIMULTANEOUSLY until the word "SAFE" appears in the display. RELEASE all buttons. <edited><editID>brrman</editID><editDate>37967.6626041667</editDate></edited>

I believe you have to just repeat the process. I don't have a delta radio so I am not totally familiar with it.

I still cannot enter in a new code since putting in the wrong code. I disconnected the battery and still nothing.

Does someone have the radio manual and can tell me what I should do in this situation...

It says 'SAFE II' because it tracks the number of attempts be shown in the display.

If an incorrect number is entered your radio will be locked up for approximately one hour. The radio will not play.

After one hour has passed - the unit must remain turned on and the key must remain in the ignition during this time - the number of attempts will stop being displayed and the electronic lock can be cancelled as normal procedure.
