Hi. I just replaced the battery on my '93 100 quattro v6. Afterwards the stock Bose radio/cassette player went to a SAFE mode and it will not play or do anything. Is there a way to "unlock" the radio or bypass it somehow? I am not the original owner, so if there is a code or something I never got it. Do I have any other option or should I take it to the dealer?

Thanks!

easiest thing is to try to google you model number radio online and try to find it.
what I did is I got a new radio.

Thanks for the suggestions. I don't see the code anywhere. I tried to remove the radio without success. Do I need some special tool? Its the original Bose radio/cassette unit. It has 4 small holes in the corners. I'm thinking that a special tool goes in there for removal.

Im pretty sure you dont need any kind of special tool to remove it, because mine came out with just the screws. Cant remember if the bracket comes out with it though.

Did you disconnect everything from behind?

the 4 small holes might suggest the necessety of a special tool .. it looks like a U and it comes in pairs ... you could acctually stick some thicker wire in thhose holes and than see if the inside tabs come loose
