Ti Kan: Audi Concert Radio
Please perform the following procedures while the car is parked. Otherwise
you risk getting into an accident while your attention is not focused on
the driving.
Entering anti-theft code
The following is the procedure to re-activate the radio if the display
shows "SAFE". It is important that the procedure be followed in the correct
order.
- Turn on radio. The radio display shows "SAFE".
- Press the FM2 and RDS buttons simultaneously and hold until
"1000" shows on the display. Release the buttons. Do NOT
press these buttons again, otherwise the radio will consider "1000"
to be the code.
- Use Preset buttons 1 ... 4 to enter the four-digit code number
from your radio card. Preset button 1 corresponds to the first digit,
Preset button 2 corresponds to the second digit, etc. Each press of
the button increments the number by 1.
- Once the code shown on the display is correct, press the FM2 and RDS
buttons simultaneously and hold until the word "SAFE" appears in the
display, then release the buttons.
- The radio should unlock and be usable shortly afterwards.
- If an incorrect code is entered, the word "SAFE" appears, first flashing
and then continuously. You can repeat the above steps to unlock the
radio once more, the number of attempts will be shown in the display.
If an incorrect code is entered again, you radio will be locked for about
one hour. After one hour - the radio must stay on and the key must remain
in the ignition lock - if the display goes out, the you can repeat the
above procedure to unlock again. The cycle - two attempts, one hour
lock-up - still applies.
- If you lose your radio code, contact your Audi dealer.
Note: Some European market Concert radios have a TP button instead
of the FM2 button, so the description above with those units would
require pressing the TP and the RDS buttons simultaneously.

Standard/Bose and other configuration modes
You can program the Concert radio to use either the standard or the
Bose equalization setting, as well as a few other basic configurations.
This requires the use of a VAG-1551, VAG-1552 or equivalent scan tool (See
VAG-COM or
ProDiag).
Knowledge of the usage of such a scan tool is assumed.
- Connect scan tool to the car's OBD-II diagnotic port.
- Turn on ignition and radio, select Radio Controller in scan tool.
- The radio shows "DIAG" in the display.
- Select "Recode Module". You may enter a 5-digit code according to the
table below. For example, "00007" is a standard setting while
"00017" is a Bose setting, both with CD changer and secondary display.
- Turn off radio and ignition, disconnect scan tool.
- Turn on radio to hear the effects. In Bose mode, the radio display
will show "BOSE" briefly after turn-on.
| Digit | Description |
| 1 |
Country ID (0 = standard) |
| 2 |

| 3 |
Number of passive speakers
0 = No passive speakers (Bose)
1 = Front left (Bose with hands-free phone)
2 = Fronts passive, rears active
5 = Fronts passive, rears non-active

Bose system also has an different external amplfier and different
speakers.
