How can I Get My Factory Stereo Off of Safe Mode
First to get the radio out of safe mode you are suppose to leave the key in the on position not started for approx. and hour. After about an hour the radio should switch from safe to a 1000 display. You then would have to enter your code. Then you will need to get the code for your radio , but in order to do that you will need to submit the serial# XXXXX of the radio on our website (VW, Audi, and Skoda). The radio will have to be removed to see the serial# XXXXX the case. It should start with something like VWZ, AUZ or SKZ. If some cases the radio will not come out of safe mode meaning the radio would have to be replaced.
What process do i do to put the correct code in after 1000 displays?
When the radio shows 1000 you enter the code by pushing the first four preset buttons. The first button " 1" will change the first number of the code. just push repeatedly until the correct # XXXXX XXXXX for the code. The number 2 button changes the second number in the code and so on. after the correct code is in press and hold the forward seek button for a couple of seconds and the radio should activate.
