Audi does not put the info in the trunk.

Default It was not in the manual

Since the manuals are generic and this code is specific to your radio. It was on a sticker. My dealer put that sticker on the cover of my manual (I think).

Hint: look for a sticker or free page of paper (not a page in the manual).

Default I just went through this last week...

I had to take the car in to verify the VIN#, then they would take the deck out of the car, and hook it up to a "Gecko" machine and read the code out of it.

Default no, but a n00b who doesn't ask much then offers $$$ for a security code is more likely to be a c

I broke down and went to the stealership...$55 bucks and the radio works again...yippee *&@!# stealership...they didnt even wash it...


And if I was a crook...The last thing i would steal would be a foot long audi stereo with a cassette player...Im sure there is a big market for foot long bose tape players in some third world country..but here in the the good ole USA, I think someone would go after a dvd or navagation unit...and any smart crook wouldnt pay you with paypal..too much of a paper trail..dont you watch CSI?
