Radio Doesn't Work - Help?
 

I recently had to replace the battery on my '96 A4, and since then I've had no radio.

After finally tracking down the radio code I looked into the code-entering-procedure... turn on radio; "SAFE" appears; etc.

The problem is that "SAFE" doesn't appear for me... nothing appears, so I can't get to the part where I enter the code.

Fuse 37 - 20A radio - is good.

The radio backlighting works fine with the headlights on, but I think the backlighting may be a separate circuit.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks,
Sly

did you look at the fuse on the back of the radio.(not sure fuse 37 is in the fuse box or not).

I was hoping that there wouldn't be a fuse in the radio itself. Any advice on how to get the radio out to check it...?

you need audi special tools to release the radio...

try pressing the two buttons anyways to enter the code... rds and avs or whatever...

well if you dont want to get the audi special tools, do what i do use teh flat nail file thingy on a nail clipper. just stick it in and pull it out along wiht the radio.
