Radio code Bought a replacement radio for my A4 but it didn't come with the codes as it was from a salvage yard. I have my receipt &VIN. After I switched the radios out the newer radio went into SAFE mode. I took it to the dealer and they want to charge me OVER $100 for the code. Is there ANY WAY around this? Dealers used to do this for free! Can you help me please?

the code should be on a sticker on the radio itself. You have to take the radio out. If you bought it from a salvage place, they tend to write it on the top of the radio with a paint pen or grease pencil. If you dont have the code, the radio is worthless. If you dont know the VIN of the car it came out of, even the dealer cant help. The code was on a card in the original owners manual book.

It's next to impossible to get the code for the radio, and if the junk yard doesn't have it they should refund you.

Check online. There are code for all car on line.
Good luck

call audi give them vin and pay $13 they will give you the code

you will need to take it to the dealer and make sure you have the receipt for the junk yard radio. hope this helps

You'll have to bring the car to a dealer. With the VIN and the serial number of the radio they can look up the security code. Be prepared - you might get this done for free or a flat charge, but many will charge up to an hour's labor. Be sure they give you the code written down for future use.

call cadillac or maybe even gm dealer and give them vin number
gm dealer ask for martin @ 281-929-3250....houston tx

Get code from dealer for nothing. Just give them your vin #.

check the owners manual or maintenance guide , some people handwrite the security code in.
