Hope ive posted this in the right spot!

I've been given an Audi Concert radio cassette made by Blaupunct - it has the code with it but when I connect it up the display shows SAFE and I can't get it to allow me to even enter the code. I don't have any instructions so not sure whats wrong.
Can anyone help please?

without the code its useless ish you can have it decoded but Audi wont touch it because they check it against the Vin number and if they don't match it will be taken from you till its been proved its not stolen

 

As I said!!

 

ohhh thanks for the large letters im getting on a bit so it does help lol your request is "how to enter the code" ive no idea

 

The following is the procedure to re-activate the radio if the display
shows "SAFE". It is important that the procedure be followed in the
correct order.


Turn on radio. The radio display shows "SAFE".
Press the FM2 and RDS buttons simultaneously and hold until "1000"
shows on the display. Release the buttons. Do NOT press these
buttons again, otherwise the radio will consider "1000" to be
the code.
Use Preset buttons 1 ... 4 to enter the four-digit code number
from your radio card. Preset button 1 corresponds to the first
digit, Preset button 2 corresponds to the second digit, etc.
Each press of the button increments the number by 1.
Once the code shown on the display is correct, press the FM2
and RDS buttons simultaneously and hold until the word "SAFE"
appears in the display, then release the buttons.
The radio should unlock and be usable shortly afterwards.
If an incorrect code is entered, the word "SAFE" appears,
first flashing and then continuously. You can repeat the
above steps to unlock the radio once more, the number of
attempts will be shown in the display. If an incorrect code
is entered again, you radio will be locked for about one hour.
After one hour - the radio must stay on and the key must remain
in the ignition lock - if the display goes out, the you can repeat
the above procedure to unlock again. The cycle - two attempts, one
hour lock-up - still applies.
If you lose your radio code, contact your Audi dealer.
Note: Some European market Concert radios have a TP button instead
of the FM2 button, so the description above with those units would
require pressing the TP and the RDS buttons simultaneously.

auto reception quality information display.


Turn off radio.

auto-volume compensation display.

Other Preferences & Configurable Options

you may set in the Audi Concert radio.

Press the FM2 or TP button to advance to the next adjustable parameter and
you can use the volume **** in the same way. Repeat this until it cycles
back to the first mode.
When you are done, turn off radio, the setting will be remembered the next
time the radio is turned on.
The table below shows a list of parameters that can be adjusted in this manner.

Parameter Description
SVC (or GALA) Speed-sensitive Volume Control (auto-volume compensation) effect

while cassette is rewinding or fast-forwarding) (OFF/ON)
