Most auto parts stores (e.g., Autozone) sell a little battery powered gizmo that goes in your cigar lighter and provides power to the electrical system so the radio does not lose it's setting. I've never used one, but suggest you check. Of course, there may be clever answers coming about using a trickle charger or float charger attached to the battery cables, but you gotta be real careful not to touch positive to metal.

fwiw - if you have your vin and the radio code written on the radio Audi of USA will give you the security code.

also, i am not sure why but i have disconnected my battery about 8 times and the radio out a couple in the last 2 mos. and have yet to have to enter the code in....
