Make sure ignition is switched on, hold down button AS and turn on the stereo. Wait for the beep, then release button AS. Display should now have 4 dashes ----. Enter correct code using the radio preset buttons 1 to 4. Once code is entered, press and hold down button AS again until code is either confirmed or denied. WARNING - you only have a max of 10 attempts to get it right, but if still no luck after the 8th attempt, STOP and contact a Vaux dealer.

You need to re enter the code, ignition on, hold AS button till bleep, use preset buttons to enter code, press AS again. If you don't know the code DONT TRY TOO MANY TIMES as it will disable radio permanently after too many wrong attempts (not sure if it becomes scrap after 10 wrong attempts) in any event it will increase delay as you get more wrong.
If you've entered a bad code a couple times, you need to wait an hour while the radio and ignition are on. Then, turn on the radio, SAFE should be displayed. Then Press the
FM1 button and hold it down, then while holding down the FM1 button,
press and hold the AM buttons so that both buttons are held down simultaneously.
Release the buttons. Now enter the correct code using the radio pre-set
station buttons (one through 4). Button 1 changes the first digit in the code
"1"000, Button "two" changes the second digit in the code 1"0" "three" 00, button 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 FM1
and AM button simultaneously as before until SAFE is displayed, then
release the 2 buttons, and now the radio should now work.
The normal method of entering a four digit code is to keep pressing Preset Button 1 until the first digit is displayed...then keep pressing Preset 2 , then 3 , then 4 then often press 5 or 6 to store the code in the radio
IMPORTANT NOTE: You must have the security anti-theft code for your Audi radio from the car manufacturer, or from an Audi dealer! It's not enough to post the radios serial no for find the code, because it's an anti-theft code.
The sequence of programming for Audi radio is: 1. Push simultaneous "SCAN" and "RDS" keys until on the screen will appear "1000" displayed. 2. Release keys. No more push on "SCAN" and "RDS" keys because otherwise number "1000" will be considered as first safe code attempt. 3. By the #1 key you will set up the first safe code digit. 4. By the #2 key you will set up the second safe code digit. 5. By the #3 key you will set up the third safe code digit. 6. By the #4 key you will set up the four-th safe code digit. 7. Then push again simultaneous "SCAN" and "RDS" keys for confirm this safe code. On the screen will be displayed "SAFE" notice. Release keys! For few seconds a radio frequence will be displayed. The radio is now ready for use!
The units anti-theft program was activated when the battery was disconnected. If you don't know the 4 digit code, try to contact the previous owner or most higher end car audio dealer/installers will offer a service to reset the anti-theft code program, for a fee.
