Symphony radio code - 2001 Audi allroad

For all makes of radio codes contact this link:

I'm not sure which model you have but these are the instructions for Symphony 1.
I'm not sure if this also applies to Symphony 2 (which has a built in single slot 6 CD changer)

Switch on - display shows SAFE as you indicate
Press and hold TP and RDS buttons at same time until 1000 appears
Release buttons (dont touch again or 1000 will be entered as the code)
Using station select buttons 1 to 4 enter code. Use button 1 to select first digit of security code, button 2 for second digit etc (buttons 5 and 6 cannot be used)
Once code is entered press TP and RDS buttons together and hold until SAFE appears
Release buttons and a radio frequency will appear in the display
Job done

If you accidently enter the wrong code the word SAFE will start flashing. You get ONE more chance to go through this procedure and enter the correct code.
There is a more complicated procedure to go through after this with one hour time delays between attempts

Let me know how you get on!

No one in the world would or should know someones
radio code

Should you know the codes of all your neighbors car radios?

Ask a dealers parts dept or service mgr for help in getting & installing the code

A VW agent should be able to supply the code on the Vin No, failing that a Audio centre can re code it.

Each radio code is unique. If it's not in the owners manual (when new there was a small card, loose, in the owners manual with the code). If you don't have that you need to get the code from the dealer.

The radio code is only obtainable from an Audi dealer. They would have to e -mail Audi with the vehicle details and the radio serial no to get the radio code. They would then enter the code for you.

Audi Bose Radio Audi Gamma CC Radio Audi Delta CC Radio Audi Concert Radio Audi Symphony Radio which one of the above is your system?

You will need the code to get it working. You may need Audi for this. Never disconnect the battery, or the alarm with trip on. Since it is frozen, I would try and remove the fuse, and reinstall it to reset the stereo. Then try the code.
I got lucky in my 2001 VW passat, when the stereo code was needed, but then the next day it started working by itself.

all that is, is the speapers cant handle the sound

hold rbds and pscan till you see numbers then use the radio memory buttons to control the number you want to put in after the numbers are put in hold rbds pscan again till u see it says safe and radio works.
