I just purchased a 2009 Jetta SE and the radio was in SAFE 2 mode. The dealer tried the radio code but could not get the radio to a point to enter it. I read a number of threads and tried many suggestions, leave the car in the Aux mode for an hour, hold down the seek and mode buttons etc. Finally I disconnected the battery waited a few moments and re-connected. I figured maybe this would show me the screen to enter the code but instead the radio booted up with no code and works fine. The dealer suggested I return when the service dept was open, none of the sales people had a clue.

You must have the radio code card on your car's documents or car book. If you lost that, you need to go Audi dealer, it's 90$ at the dealer for first time customer.

You'll need to submit your vin number to the nearest vdub dealership and have them look the code up for you. there should not be a fee for this service...

LEAVE the car on for one hour, It does not need to be turned on with the motor running. You can have just the electronics on. Safe mode will then disappear and ask for a radio code.

Why does my radio always reset to safe mode when I get into my car and the starter take too long to work?

I think its kinda simple: If your car takes that long to start...(More than three to four seconds) Get to a Mechanic second to more directly answer the question.. Either the lead to the radio Memory is hooked to the ignition incorrectly. Losses power when turned to the "power Starter" position. OR The battery is so weak that when under load it doesn't have enough "juice" to power the memory wire from its "normal" position. Looking close at the context of your question and taking out the "I Dont know anything factor..." I am guessing it is clear you have an after market radio hooked up and it is not hooked up correctly. See Memory wire in your direction (usually Yellow) or check for a blown fuse or bad wire with an Audi Radio. (installed by the factory) More on "SAFE MODE": ***When you loose power to the memory the radio will stop remembering the CODE...*** This is a safety feature in Audi(s) to reduce the number of radios stolen around the world. Great feature, YES and NO... not many Audi radios are stolen because of it. HEY , When you know something ... PASS it on! D SUPER MECH-NIC

When troubleshooting problems with a monitor in Windows 2000 why would you enter Safe Mode?

Safe mode loads the Standard VGA driver, its not somewhat a monitor troubleshooting step but rather a step taken to resolve driver issues. If your monitor displays the first part of the boot process then blanks out while loading the OS it is recommended your boot into safe mode to try & resolve display issues.

How do you use the radio code to use it after it has been in safe mode?

Turn the ignition to the on position but do not start the engine. Leave it sitting like that for one hour. The radio should then switch out of safe mode and allow you to enter the correct code.
