Why Did This Happen?
Car radios have built-in anti-theft systems that activate when power is interrupted. This prevents thieves from using stolen radios in other vehicles. The system locks when:
- Battery disconnected or replaced - Most common cause (dead battery, new battery installation)
- Battery terminals cleaned - Power interruption triggers lock
- Fuse replaced - Radio fuse change causes reset
- Electrical work performed - Any work requiring battery disconnect
- Jump start with wrong polarity - Can trigger radio lock
- Long-term storage - Battery drain over time

Step-by-Step: How to Unlock Your Radio
📋 Complete Process:
- Find Your Radio Serial Number
Check radio label, press buttons 1+6, or check car documents
- Order Your Radio Code
Enter serial on our dashboard - INSTANT for VW/Audi/Skoda/SEAT/Nissan
- Receive Your Code
5 minutes (INSTANT brands) or 5-60 min (Mercedes)
- Enter Code in Radio
Use preset buttons to input 4-digit code
- Radio Unlocked!
Radio works normally - drive and enjoy music again
How to Enter Radio Code (Universal Method)
Once you have your 4-digit code (example: 1234), enter it using radio preset buttons:
- Turn on ignition and radio - Display shows "SAFE" or "CODE"
- Press button 1 repeatedly until first digit appears
- Press button 2 repeatedly until second digit appears
- Press button 3 repeatedly until third digit appears
- Press button 4 repeatedly until fourth digit appears
- Press and hold button 5 or 6 to confirm (some models: press "OK")
- Radio unlocks immediately!
⚠️ Important:
You have 10 attempts maximum. After 10 wrong codes, radio enters "SAFE 2" mode and locks for 1-2 hours. Always verify your serial number is correct before ordering!
