Radio "SAFE" Mode

Radio "SAFE" Mode
I currently had an issue with my radio going into "Safe" mode and when searching for a answer notice that this is a common occurrence. The "stealership" wanted to charge me $130 to look up the code for me, even though I already had the serial number. Ridiculous. I found an easy remedy without having to leave my house.
You will need:
VIN# and
Radio Serial#
If you are already in possession of the radio serial number (if not you have to pull the head unit, it should be located on the side or top of the unit)all you have to do is call either:
1-800-367-2834 or
1-800-822-2834
Press #3 and then #1.
Both are numbers for Audi of America.
They are very polite helpful and it is FREE!
Good Luck.

Is the serial number all you need? This seems way too good to be true.

Can you source that opinion?
According to this article it is true. To save the trouble of viewing the link the following is a quote from it.
"Some remanufactured radios are hard coded from the factory with 1111 so you may want to try this code first. "

So I guess the phone number is too good to be true, can't exactly get the vin number of a reman radio or one you got from a junkyard or part out. Oh well, I guess this EEPROM programmer I bought won't go to waste at least.

Or you could just take 5 minutes and call AoA and get the right code for free.
