Radio Coding Procedure

Volkswagen

Anti-Theft Coding
When you switch off the radio and remove the key, a red diode in the face plate will start blinking. This means that the
radio is in anti-theft code. The Anti-Theft Coding will prevent unauthorized persons from operating the unit if it has
been removed from the vehicle

Whenever:
• The radio is disconnected from the vehicle current supply
• The battery is disconnected
• The electrical fuse for the radio is blown or removed

The word SAFE will appear in the frequency display when the radio is switched on. The unit will only work again if the
correct code has been entered.

This code number and the radio serial number are on the “Radio Card” next to the table of contents in the front of the
instruction booklet. If you do not have the radio code, you must remove the radio, aquire the serial number on the radio
unit and call the local dealer for the proper radio code.

To cancel the electronic “lock-up” from the “SAFE” mode:

§ Turn on the radio and the word “SAFE” appears in the display

§ Press the MODE and SCAN buttons simultaneously and hold them down until “1000” lights up on the display.
Release the buttons! DO NOT under any circumstances continue holding them down or press them once
again. This will cause the radio to consider the number “1000” to be the input code number

§ Use the station buttons 1 thru 4 to input the code number on your Radio Card or the appropriate code for the
radio. Use the 1 to input the first digit of the code number, button 2 to input the second digit, and so on. For
technical reasons the first digit can be a 1 or left blank (making the first digit a 0. The following three digits, may
be any number from 0 thru 9.

§ Once the code is shown on the display, press the MODE and SCAN buttons simultaneously and hold them
down till the word “SAFE” appears in the frequency display.

§ Release the buttons! Soon afterward, a frequency will be displayed and the radio is functional again.
Incorrect Code Number

Should the incorrect code number be entered, the word “SAFE” will appear in the display first blinking and then
continuous.

You can now repeat the entire canceling procedure once. The number of attempts will be shown in the display.

If another incorrect code is entered your radio will go into “code lock” for approximately one hour. The radio will not
play. Leave the radio switched on for one hour. After this time, the display with the number of incorrect attempts will
go out and you can cancel the electronic lock up as described above.

This cycle of two attempts, one hour lock up still applies
