First off let me begin by saying my Bose radio system works fine - but my fear is that eventually, inevitably - I will need to disconnect the radio and/or the battery and then it will be asking for the code. The thing is - I'm the second owner and don't have the code. The little card that held the code was torn out of the users manual and is nowhere to be found, therefore I have no idea how to obtain it. (And no I do not know the first owner or have their contact information to ask)

My question is, can the Bose system somehow "tell" me the code since it is fully functional or can I reset the code to a new code? Other than paying the dealer to do this - is there another option?

If its a sympthony radio audi has made the codes available to pull off of elsa web, so if you post me the radio's serial number (AUZ #) and the VIN i can post it back to you.

where do you find the serial#? 2003 A6 3.0 with Bose I would also like the my code if possible. Same story...

Pull the radio out with the radio removal tools, and the serial number is on the side of the radio (it starts with AUZ)

Thanks - I'll have to give that shot. I just received the radio removal tools so I should be able to do that yet this weekend!

The battery on my Audi died yesterday. The Bose head unit says SAFE when I turn it on. Does it need to go to dealer to be reset? Or does this code (which I do not have) reset the Bose Radio?

^^^Yeah you need to code to take it out of safe mode.
Like i posted before, if you have the tools to pull it out, post you VIN and AUZ serial number and i can give you the code.

I took in it for the radio at a local Audi/VW repair shop and the guy asks if I have any of the service records. I hand him the stack that the previous owner had. The repair sheet that dealt with replacing the battery had the code at the top so that the tech would not have to go searching for it. So if you lost your code check the old records and see if the code is written at the top.

In the same position as few other Audi lovers here with my stereo in safe mode. Can you please help me find the code.
Here is my serial # AUZ 1Z9X1954662 and my VIN # WAUKE5441LN101217. Thank you to any one with help. I really need to hear that system!!!

I have similar problems as above. only I don't have the radio removal tools, I don't think I do anyway, or the radio manual. Can I get the code with the vin# only
