Thank you for contacting the Audi Customer Experience Center regarding the radio code for you 1997 A4. Please accept this written reply. In order to remove the vehicles radio from SAFE mode, you will need to enter the correct radio code. We are able to provide you with the code however in order to do so we will need the VIN as well as the AUZ number which is a 14 character alphanumeric number stamped on the radio housing. The radio will need to be removed from the vehicle in order to view this number. The number will always begin with AUZ followed by 11 other numbers and letters. Once you have this information you can contact us directly to obtain the radio code. If you are unable to retrieve the AUZ number you will need to inquire with your local Audi dealer as they will have the means to obtain the code using special equipment in the service department. I can be reached at the Audi Customer Experience Center at 877-615-2834 Monday – Sunday 8AM to 11PM Eastern Standard Time once you have the required information. If I am not available at the time of your call, simply provide the reference number listed above to any of my peers so that they can assist you directly. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to assist you.

Hi Samuel, kindly assist with code for car stereo AUZ5Z4D6064352 your quick response is of high appreciation.

In case anyone needs the 4 digit code to their audi radio, go to https://freeradiocodes.co.uk/audi-radio- code and put in the serial number. It literally gives you the code, it's like $14. Way better than paying the STEALership $100+. We just did it today after a long time searching on one we bought online. We bought the car with no radio in it, bought one on ebay, and today we got the code...Audi Customer Service couldn't do it, but this site gave it instantly. We have an 04 Audi A4 Quattro 1.8T. Just know that if it's a stolen radio, they will not give the code!
