I have the same code problem but mine is a little more difficult. I cant get my radio out! I have had it to two stereo shops and the dealer yesterday. They all said im gonna have to break it and get a new one, found one cheap on ebay but....is there anyway to remove a stock head unit besides the obvious with the little tools

 

are you just trying to remove it and replace it ?? or are you trying to get your radio code to get radio out of safe code ??

 

well I need to get the radio out to get the serial number to get the code haha. I really dont want to replace my radio. It works and functions just fine, the guy I bought the car off of claims he already replaced the radio thats in my car and I looked all over and throughout the car and cant find it, the code that is, my thought was maybe he wrote it down, I dont want to replace the radio, alls i need is the serial number but I really dont have a choice at this point, I ordered the tools the other day but havent gotten them yet, damn usps. so like i said these guys i took it to couldnt get it out and thats why i posed the question if there is anyway to get the radio out or at least get the serial number off the radio other than the intended way.

 

find out where it was originally sold if you do not know call audiusa.com give them your vin # and they can give you the place that first sold it call them ask for service dept. tell them you need radio # vin # and they have radio code on file.......

 

Try 1111 or 1234 most likely d previous owner never changed n u may get lucky? I did, I entered 1234 one day that my girlfriend left d lights on for a whole day on d car n killed d batt!! I was debating going to d dealer or not then I was like fu$& it let me try.. 1st attempt radio was back on!!!

 

thats sweet getting lucky like that. I recently got very lucky on a driveability problem that no body could figure out.....gonna try the obvious ones first. im gonna do a search on here to figure out how to input the code im sure its a combo of at least two buttons

 

at the same time push down the RDS and SCAN button the safe light will go off and the 1000 will come up then use the far left button to change the first number then second button for the next until all four numbers are what you want and then press down at same time the RDS and Scan button either the radio will come on or (if wrong) SCAN will come back up

 

haha just tried those two, no luck, im gonna have to let it sit for a while tomorrow and try some more voodoo
