How to Get Your Audi Radio Code — A3, A4, A6, Q5, Q7, TT Guide

Your Audi Radio is Locked
Some legacy Audi radios share VAG-era suppliers and serial patterns with other Volkswagen Group brands. A power interruption can trigger SAFE on some units; modern MMI/MIB or component-protection cases may follow a different workflow. Many supported Audi radio serials use an AUZ prefix, but the fitted-unit label is the deciding evidence.
Finding Your Audi Radio Serial Number
Audi radios store the serial number internally. To retrieve it:
- Concert/Chorus systems: Press and hold buttons 1+6 simultaneously for 3-5 seconds.
- Symphony systems: Press FM1 + FM2 simultaneously.
- RNS-E navigation: Access the serial through the system menu, or remove the unit.
- MMI systems: The serial is typically accessible through the setup menu under "Version Info".
If the button method doesn't work, check the serial label on the fitted unit. Some legacy Audi and VW units use similar removal tools, but removal requirements vary by dashboard and radio model.
