How to Reset an Audi Radio Code
1. Find the exact model of your Audis radio, which is usually printed on the front of the radio. To double-check, either contact your Audi dealer or visit the online list of Audi radios, complete with photos.
2. Contact your Audi dealer to obtain the anti-theft code that corresponds with your radios model. This code will usually be 4 digits, though with some codes the first digit is blank.
3. Press the 2-button combination that triggers your radios unlocking sequence. For example, if your radio is a Delta, press and hold AM and ARI-Z simultaneously until the display flashes CODE, then immediately release. After a pause, the display will flash 1000.
4. Use the numbered preset buttons to enter the code obtained from your Audi dealer. For example, if your code is 1572, press the 1 preset button once, the 2 button 5 times, the 3 button 7 times and then press the 4 button twice. These numbers should appear on your radios display as you enter them.
5. Press and hold the 2-button combination from Step 3 until the radios display flashes CODE. Your radio should unlock at this point.
