...without going to the dealers?
I foolishly left my interior light on a couple of weeks ago, and my battery died. I jump started it, and all was well, but my stereo went into SAFE mode.
I looked in my manual for the radio code, but the card part where it would be had been cut out. Apparently you are entitled to the code free if you go to the dealers. So I pulled out my stereo to get the code at the back, took my V5, my service book and my insurance to the dealers (Audi Whetstone), and I was told that I need to pay £35 + VAT for the code. Not only that, but it also had to be taken into the garage, and only on a Wednesday morning. So I would also have to take a day off work!
To be honest she was incredibly rude about it, but now it's been 3 weeks without music and I am going a bit mad. It's ****** boring without music and I keep thinking I hear noises from the engine/exhaust/ body panels etc.
I have searched the forum (and the net), and there is no threads about people actually getting their code. I know there are sites on the net that reckon they can get the number, but I don't know how reliable they are. Some people also said try the last 4 digits of my radio serial number, but that didnt work either.
Any help would be gratefully received
