Default When they replaced mine I never got the code....almost a year after that my battery was drained...

I had to reset the code, but only had the old code. I called them and the new code was on the work order in their system...one phone call and I was ready to roll with the new code.

Default Can someone explain to me the significance of this stereo code? I've seen it...

on my dealer service invoices but I have no idea what it's for. Does it get affected by VAG-COM use?

Default if the stereo asks for a code it is in safe mode

its meant so someone cant steal your stereo and put it in another car. i want to know what triggers it, and how to find out my code.

Default Thats funny.. My A4 would never ask for the code. even when the radio was out for 2 weeks.

The S4... pull a fuse, or disconect the batery.. it asks for a code right away
