How do you reset the radio code on a 1998 Volkswagon Jetta?

Answer 1

here ya go,

You have to press TA & TP together, then the 1000 appears and you enter the code using the 1-4 buttons then press TA & TP again to confirm (it's a BETA 4 radio).

If it is the current Beta proceed as follows: 1. Switch on: Display reads "SAFE" 2. Enter code using button "1" to enter the first digit of code, button "2" to enter the second digit etc. 3. When all 4 digits of the code are correctly display, press either the manual setting rocker (>) or the search (>>) button for more than 2 seconds. Then release. 4. The radio should then play. If it does not, press either the "FM" or "CC" button. Hope this helps.

AnswerI have a 1997 VW Jetta, I had work done on it and the radio went in to SAFE mode. I accidently entered the wrong code 2 or 3 times and now I can't get it back to BETA mode to enter the code I have.

What can I do?

AnswerOnce you have your 4 digit code and the radio is set to 1000. You put the code in one at a time until you have entered all of them starting from the first digit 1. My 1998 Volkswagen Jetta Wolfsburg Edition's code is 0986. After I entered the code, I pressed the seek button for at least 2 seconds and the radio immediately began to play.

Answer:

If your jetta has SEEK/SCAN and buttons, press SEEK with the lower >, 1000 appears, enter your code, press SEEK and > again for about 2 seconds..radio will start playing.

how do i reset the radio code for a 1997 volkswagen Golf

If your radio is in SAFE mode. You will need to have the four digit code, then hold down the MODE and SCAN buttons at the same time till 1000 comes up on the radio use the volume button to scan up and down till code is entered. Press and hold MODE and SCAN again till SAFE flashes again, if code is correct your radio will work. You have three tries to get it right then you have to wait around 30min to retry.

If you don't have your code you can try to call a dealership and give them the number on the back of your deck, however they are not suppose to give out the codes over the phone. I had to call around ten dealerships till I found one in Iowa city,Iowa that gave me the code over the phone.

hold mode and scan down for 3 seconds. Then 1000 comes on the screen and the code can be entered using the 1-4 buttons. keep pushing the 1 button till the first number matches the first number of the code and repeat for 2,3 and 4. when the code is correct on the screen then hold the mode and scan button for 3 seconds.

You can't reset a radio code on a VW. All radios have their own code, recorded in the car owners manual or radio manual. If you dont have the code, your'e pretty much screwed.
