if you have input the wrong code too many time safe appears and it locks it totally usually for 4 hours or so

ok here comes the bad news you cant press no buttons to reset the radio back to 1000 the only way to do it is leave the radio switched on for over 1 hour and it will reset itself then get the code and input it tommrow from vw.

Probably a pointless remark but.....is it the original stereo that was fitted in your car???

If so, when you start the car with the radio on it will do the rest for you...
