Went to start my 06 a4 avant last night and it came up "safe" where the trip meter is on the dash, anyone know how I sort this out ? thanks

 

I've never seen that show up on the trip meter display. Usually when power is disconnected for a while, the radio code will have to be re-entered (theft protection measure) and SAFE will appear on the radio display. Check the owners manual, if you still have it, it may have a bit of information about it.

 

Says in the owners manual it's not recognising my keys, have got 2 and tried them both, just comes up safe and refuses to start

 

You may have to have the key fobs reprogrammed for the car. Kind of strange that both of them would lose their coding though.
