Bought the car used and i wasnt given the code for the radio... its on safe mode now. is there a free way to look up my code with my vin and AUZ#, one guy says it can be done for under seven bucks? can you help me?

If the radio is an OEM Volkswagen can give you the code using the VIN number. If the radio is not the original the only way you'll be able to get the code is from the manufacture using the model# and the serial number.

In order to get the serial number from the radio you must remove it from the dash board. It will be a 14 digit number that starts with AUZ and it will be on the radio chssis tag. Take that number and the title or registration in your name to a dealership and make sure you have photo id and they should be able to get you the unlock code.

NEED VIN AND NAVI SERIAL YES THEY ARE CORRECT.WITHOUT THOSE 2 IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM TO GIVE U THE CODE.CHECK THE RADIO MANUAL FOR A STICKER AND SPECIALLY LOOK FOR A14 DIGIT NUMBER STARTING WITH AUZ....IF U CANT FIND IT U MUST TAKE OUT THE UNIT..IFU CAN SEND ME BOTH I WILL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE U WITH HE PIN.IF U NEED MORE INFO ON HOW TO TAKE OUT THE UNIT LET ME KNOW..

You'll need to phone up the dealer and give them the year, make, model and vin # then ask them for the radio code and follow their given radio reset procedures, or have them do it for you.

call the dealer and give them the vin number

No the vin number has nothing to do with the radio code the dealer has a automated phone number they call and tells them how to retrieve a code and the manufature gets the unlock code from this,try to google radio unlock procedure for the vw passat.

If you don't have the radios security code, you can try entering 1111 as some replacement radios were coded with this security code. Your local Audi Dealer may be able to provide the correct security code for your vehicle, if you provide them with your vehicles Identification Number (VIN). This VIN is typically located on the drivers door pillar.

The radio should have a serial number on the unit which also can be given to the Audi dealer and checked in their data base of radio security codes. The serial number will start with AUZ, one radio serial number for example is AUZ1Z9A1965412.

To enter the code on the Wiesbaden Radio: Turn on the radio, SAFE should be displayed.
Push and hold the AM/FM button, then while holding the AM button down, push and hold down the SCAN button. Release the AM/FM and SCAN buttons, and the display should show 1000. Now enter the correct code using the radio pre-set station buttons (1-4). Button 1 changes the first digit in the code "1"000, Button 2 changes the second digit in the code 1"0"00, button 3 changes the third digit, button 4 changes the last digit in the code. In most cases the first digit is a 1 and won't need to be changed. You push each pre-set station button multiple times to step through the digits (1-9) to get the correct code displayed.

Code 1246 would entered by pushing button "2" two times, pushing button 3 four times, and pushing button 4, six times.

After entering the correct security code, push and hold down the AM/FM button, then while holding down the AM/FM button, push and hold down the SCAN button. The display will then show SAFE, release the two buttons, and now the radio should play correctly.

Hey.. i just had the same thing happen... bought a 1994 Jetta.. radio in safe mode... so i went online and found out.. hold scan mode and the arrows after your preset station button.. then after like 3 secs or so you'll see " 000" on the display.. use the preset buttons.. 1,2,3, and 4 to change the display to enter your code :D if you lost your code go to VW dealer and pull radio out and see service center .. carry VIN code in as well and they can look up your code.. takes like 5 mins and is FREE,,, man i love that word :D
