Audi radio unlock code

Audi has used the radio anti-theft feature since around 1990 to keep your stereo from working without the security code. If your battery died or your radio was disconnected, we'll retrieve it for you.

1 Find your radio serial number

The serial number is on a label on the side of the radio chassis — you'll need to remove the radio from the dashboard to read it.

  • Number starts with AUZ or VWZ.
  • It's a 14-character code (letters + numbers).
Heads Up: Some vehicles require the radio to be removed to retrieve the radio serial number. Our service does not include radio removal. Free vehicle-specific removal videos are often available on YouTube by searching for your vehicle’s year, make, and model followed by “radio removal.”

2 Find your vehicle's VIN

Your Vehicle Identification Number is the 17-character code that uniquely identifies your car.

  • Usually visible at the bottom of the driver's side windshield.
  • Also on your registration, insurance card, and the door jamb sticker.
  • If your radio came from another Audi, that's fine — any Audi VIN works; it doesn't have to be the radio's original vehicle.

About Audi radio unlock codes

Many Audi vehicles are fitted with a factory radio that uses an anti-theft security code. This Audi radio code is only needed if the stereo loses power — a dead or replaced battery, a disconnected battery, or a radio that was removed from the dash. When that happens the radio locks and will not play until the correct unlock code is entered.

We retrieve your Audi factory radio unlock code from the radio's serial number and email it to you, ready to enter using your preset buttons.
