Radio code i have the security code for my radio, how do i enter it?

Firstly the modern car radio is generally integrated into the vehicle security system and when powered up must recognise the vehicle VIN number programmed into the vehicle security system. Lots of such radios no longer use a security code as it is deemed no longer necessary.

Where a 3 or 4 digit security code is used the radio records the number of attempts to enter the code and each subsequent attempt causes an increasingly long pause before another attempt can be made so that the ninth attempt can mean leaving the radio switched on for several hours before the dashes reappear and then if the tenth attempt fails the radio is permanently locked and effectively scrap as dealer expertise is expensive.
Not only must the correct code be entered, it must be entered in the correct way so it is always best to refer to the vehicle audio manual.

The only time I have ever seen ERROR on a radio it was an example of a permanently locked unit...
I might be wrong so again it is best to refer to the audio manual.

Use the radio station preset buttons to enter the code after you turn on the power to the radio. The radio's display may say "CODE" asking for the security code.

look inside your book owner manual
somewhere it supposed to have the code and a way to enter the code ,
or a manual of the radio !
somewhere in those books the code is printed like a ink pad label !
when you change the battery you need to inter the code each time,
open the radio with the number pad enter the code
you must do step by step like the manual of the radio say !!!!!
or the car dealer could help you
if you dont have the code the radio is useless

• The 4-digit code for your radio is listed on the two radio security cards supplied with the vehicle.
• Enter the code by using the pre-set buttons numbered 1 to 6 and a "beep sound" occurs.
• If the code is not properly entered, then begin the code entry again, starting with the first digit. If the code is not properly entered in three successive attempts the radio will not accept any entry until the radio has been left on for one hour (the radio display will show the word 'WAIT'). After one hour in the 'on' position the radio will accept three additional entries.

Note: Should you lose your radio security cards, contact your Jaguar Dealer, who for security reasons will require proof of vehicle ownership.

I hope this info helps!

If you have the security code it's easy. The code is something that either you or a previous owner entered. If you don't have the security code a trip to the dealer will be in your future.

1. CODE ENTRY: The proper five digit code for the radio is listed on the two cards supplied in the radio security envelope. After installation or when the radio requires reprogramming the word "code" will appear on the display screen. Enter the code by using the preset buttons numbered 1 through 5 . If a "beep" sound occurs when the code is initially entered, it is then necessary to re-enter the code starting with the first digit. The "beep" sound was provided to indicate the starting point for code entry. If the code has not been properly entered after three successive attempts , the radio will then not accept any entry until the radio has been left "ON" for one hour (vehicle ignition must be "ON"). After one hour in the "ON" position, the radio will then accept three additional entry attempts. Also, if a push-button is touched accidentally when the ignition is "OFF", a warning tone will sound. Turn the ignition to the "ON" position and the warning tone will stop.
2. Radio security codes will not be given to anyone under any circumstance other than authorized jaguar dealer personnel after proof of vehicle ownership and proper identification has been established. A separate security envelope with the attached instruction is provided in each radio package. If the radio has been port installed, the security package will be placed in the vehicle glove box. NOTE: When the car arrives at the dealership, the radio will be in the inoperative mode even though it has already been installed. It is imperative that no attempts be made to install a tape cassette while the radio is in this mode. The cassette will not eject and damage may occur when removal is attempted.

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.
