Default Antitheft Code (Radio Code, Safe Code) Help!

Had to disconnect the battery, when battery was reconnected radio went into safe mode and will not work without a radio code i have to input. Only problem is i bought my car used and dont have that code, i have a 96 A4 2.8 where could i find one? Would someone elses code work for me? If so can someone hook me up with a code?

You have to have the specific code. There is a serial # on the radio starts AUZ or such. You need to take that and the vehicle serial# to the dealer and they can give it to you in about 5 minutes.

Default owners manual

It is also in the front page of the sound system manual on a tear away card-that may be gone. Dealer may also have it on file if the are computarized.
