Resetting Radio Alarm – i checked with service for this year model thats right, mode and scan for 10 secs. maybe your code is wrong. maybe the radio’s power keeps getting disconnected some how. does it come on then go off? or never blink at all. you also need to turn it off then wait 30 secs. after reseting the code. then turn it on….think of it as a hard re-boot on a cpu.

Resetting Radio Alarm – I haven’t had time yet to keep the radio on for an hour yet. I’m sure I have the right code so I’ll let you know if I get the “”1000″” after I let the radio “”play”" for an hour.

Thanks for all your help!

Resetting Radio Alarm – There’s no “”locked forever”" mode.

Keep the key turned so power is fed to the radio for over 1 hour. After that, it’ll let you try to input the code again.

Give that a try, see if “”0000″” or “”1000″” shows up.

Resetting Radio Alarm – What does your manual say about resetting the radio?

You might have to press and hold down a different button.

Resetting Radio Alarm – My manual doesn’t even mention having to “reset” the radio.

Resetting Radio Alarm – Yep, I sure have. I’ve tried it so many different ways I’m beginning to wonder if I’ve locked it up. Maybe on top of the $2,300 I’ve spent on this car in the last 6 weeks, I’ll have to go to the VW dealer or a car audio place to get the radio reset.
