How do I get the radio to come off safe mode?

I did a forum search, one thing came up, I can turn the radio on for 2 hours or something like that and it should reset its self... not sure if that's correct or not, thanks

 

After the power is disconnected or the radio removed, it must be reactivated by entering the code.

If you are really lucky, you will have the radio handbook with the code card. If not, you may still be lucky, if the code sticker was not removed from the trunk area. Try behind the spare tire, or under the carpet up on the right hand side.

Depending on your exact radio, you press two buttons at the same time to reach the "Code Entering Zone."

Code hints: (First number can only be 1 or blank). Some radios were just set with 1000 = default on some. Use the first radio button for the first number, second radio button for the second, etc....

If you don't have the code and the radio was coded, take your radio with serial number and car title to the dealer. They can look it up on the web.

BUT - Some radios had a fixed code, while some radios allowed the customer to change the code. In that case, you are screwed, unless the previous owner knows it!

 

Radio Code - Missing/Locked Up
91audi03
Group: 91
Number: 91-02
Date: 1/31/91

Subject: Delta-Bose/ Wiesbaden Radio - Code Missing/ Locked Up

Model(s): 80/90, 100/200 From M.Y. 1989

"Hard" coded radios will have a "Code" sticker located in the trunk at time of delivery. It may also be identified by a number indicating how many times the incorrect code was entered. The number appears in the lower left corner of the radio display.

Vehicles outfitted with a "Soft Code" radio will not have a "Code" sticker located in the trunk at delivery time, nor will a "Code" sticker be placed in the radio owner booklet.

The part number for "Hard" code and "Soft" code radios are as follows:

Radio == Hard Code P/N == Soft Code P/N

Wiesbaden == 893 035 180A == 893 035 180
Delta == 893 035 093B == 893 035 093
Delta/Bose== 893 035 093C == 893 035 093A

Reactivating Radio After Reconnecting Power

After disconnecting power (fuse, battery, etc.), the radio will lock up electronically

Switch radio ON :
¤ Radio will not play.
¤ Radio display shows SAF E .

Push and hold AM/FM and SCAN buttons:
¤ Display changes to 1000 .

Release AM/FM and SCAN buttons:
¤ 1000 remains on display.

Note: If the AM/FM and SCAN buttons are held down too long or pushed again, the radio will misinterpret the 1000 as an attempt at coding and one incorrect attempt will be logged.

ENTER radio's security code using First Four program station buttons:

¤ Security CODE will appear on display.

Push and hold AM/FM and SCAN buttons once again until display changes to SAF E .

Release AM/FM and SCAN buttons:
¤ Radio display changes to a radio station frequency.
¤ Radio is now coded and plays.
