check fuse to radio
first.
or look for message (radio code)
if you lost the radio code (10000 post here on that topic)
then go to dealer and get t fixed.
or any pro lock smith , listed for car.
possibly due to security, if a radio is stolen the power is lost so it will not work in another car, as your car lost power the radio may be locked. check your manual and see if there is a code to put in to get the radio working, best would be to go to VW and they will be able to reset it for you.
If your battery was replaced and the radio lost power then your anti thieft lock was activated. Check your oweners manual under radio and check for a 4 number pass word. Sometimes it is taped to the upper part of the glove box. If yopu do not have the CODE you will need to take the vehicle to the dealership or a repair center and they can give the vin number to a dealership and get the CODE.
The radio goes in safe mode when the battery gets disconnected, or if for some reason the radio lost power connection.
To get the radio out of safe mode you will need the anti theft code.
This is available with car documentation, in first page of the in car entertainment booklet, or on first page of the car booklet (not the car manual).
Once you have got the code, do the following:
Hold down both the AM/FM and the SCAN button at the same time, until the display shows "1000".
Use the buttons 1,2,3,4 to change each of the digits until you get displayed the same code as printed on documentation (ensure that it is the right one).
On some radio (programmable models), the default code is "1111" or "1234".
Press and hold the AM/FM and SCAN buttons again until the radio is starting.
If you fail twice the code, the radio will lock up in safe mode, and you won't be able to enter the code again.
If the radio is locked, or if the code is lost, the unlock can be done at the nearest car dealer, usually for a small fee, or for free.
you will have to call the dealership. they should not charge you at all. make sure you have the make, model, engine size and your VIN ready. sometimes its located in your owners manual. happy motoring!
