it's on the last page of the radio manual, not in the main manual.

Default You can only get the SAFE code with the VAG-COM when it is not in SAFE mode!
Stupid, I know. Give me your VIN and the AUZ number off the side of the radio and I will try to get it for you.

Mine is listed on all my service receipts under the "Options" space. Worth a look
