How do I get the radio to "safe" mode?

Hi apassehl, Try to press and hold the SEEK and SCAN buttons simultaneosly until "1000" lights up in the display. Then use the station buttons 1 to 4 to input your code. 1 to input the first digit, 2 to input the second, and so on. After the code is entered, press and hold the SEEK and SCAN buttons again until "SAFE" reappears. Hope this helps!

Thanks. I've tried that as well as removing the fuse and nothing has worked! Tonight I will try disconnecting the battery to see if that resets the radio... I'll try your method once more though and will report back with what works.

I have a similar problem I can't get the display to read 1000 I have a 2003 Jetta gli .

i had the same problem , what i did was turn the car off but leave the key in ignition, then switch key back to on postion but do not turn the car turn on , then power off the radio take key out repeat process and it should work when u turn the car on

Do you know the code 2003 Jetta

My way is much simpler, but it does cost a bit. I had the same damn problem, so I went to CarTunes and had a Double DIN stereo installed with backup camera. Haven't had the problem since lol

Does anyone know how to get the radio turned on? The stock one wouldn’t turn on at all so I put an aftermarket one in and it won’t either. No fuses are blown and no wires are showing for it to short out. Please help

I changed the radio on 2009 Jetta and it have a 2safe on how I fidxi
