How to Restart an Audi Stereo


1. Insert the key in the ignition and turn it to the accessory position.
2. Turn the radio on. The word 'SAFE' will be displayed on the screen.
3. Press the P.Scan and RBDS buttons simultaneously and hold until the number '1000' shows on the display. Release the buttons.
4. Use Preset buttons 1 to 4 to enter the four digit code number from your radio card located in your owner's manual. If you cannot find your radio code, call your dealership, and they will give it to you once you supply them with your VIN number. Preset button 1 corresponds to the first digit, Preset button 2 corresponds to the second digit, and so on. Each press of the button increments the number by 1.
5. Once the code shown on the display is correct, press the P.Scan and RBDS buttons simultaneously and hold until the word 'SAFE' appears in the display, then release the buttons. The radio is now unlocked.
