- The radio code is located on the radio code card in the owner's manual or through a Volkswagen dealer; give them a call and have your VIN number on hand. You will also need to pull your radio out to get the serial number; if you can't pull it out, you can stop by a local shop. They should do it for a few dollars, which takes less than 10 minutes. Again, you will need this code before beginning the procedure.

What do I do if it’s stuck in Safe 2?
Hey Gaby kr thanks for watching my video. Safe 2 means you entered the incorrect code twice, you need to have the car on for at least an hour before you can enter the code again. Please let me know how that works out for you. Please consider subscribing to me it would help me a lot, thanks.
My car is on for more than 1 hour and still SAFE 2 😢
@@amgdallam1292 Were you able to resolve the issue with the radio and if so how, thanks for any update.
@@WheelsTips how do I know what the code is?
@@E30Update I was lucky with my radio code, it’s my birth year, so I can always remember it.
HOLY COW IT WORKED!!!!!!
Thank you!!!!
The code was on the unit.
I used 2 jigsaw blades to get the unit out bc I couldn’t get keys.
But you’re the best!
Thanks a bunch for watching my video and taking the time to comment. Glad I could help enter the VW radio code, enjoy the car.

Holy moly I have been driving without audio for more than a year until I watched this video. I'm so gonna try it out later. Thanks heaps
Thanks a bunch for watching my video and taking the time to comment. If you have no power at all to your radio make sure to first check your fuses and connections especially at the back of the radio. A lot of VW radios have fuses in the back. Please share an update, thanks.
@@WheelsTips I managed to unlock the radio and everything back to normal but there is nothing coming out from the speakers. Sigh …. LOL
Hey, how did you fix your speaker issue? Thanks for any update.
Very helpful, thank you.

I have the Clarion not Monsoon radio 1998-2004 Same procedure???
Thanks a bunch for watching my video and taking the time to comment. Is the button layout the same? Please share an update, thanks.
Hello, I have a Suran 2010 model, the radio is on safe mode and no scan button. How can I exit from safe 2
Thanks a bunch for watching my video and taking the time to comment. I have not had the pleasure of working on a Suran so I can't tell you.
Can someone please tell me how to adjust treble and bass? When I push these buttons nothing happens…
Thanks a bunch for watching my video and taking the time to comment. Those features should be audio related.
helpful
Glad you think so and thanks for watching my video!
Hello question, if I installed a radio from a different car same model, would the code be the same?
Thanks a bunch for watching my video and taking the time to comment. I believe you would need to know the code for the radio you are replacing. Please share an update, thanks.
Hey, I have a question. Something stopped working on my radio, the radio doesn't remember new stations and only plays one. I would like to reset the radio. Is there another way to do this or do I have to take it out?
Thanks a bunch for watching my video and taking the time to comment. It is possible on reset that you will need to reenter your radio code. I personally have done hard resets and fuse pull resets, while diagnosing an issue similar to the one you have.
Can’t get my radio to turn on after I removed the fuse and put it back in.
Hey Shon9tilR thanks for watching my video. Which fuse and where was it located? Also check if the fuse is still working. Sometimes people put the fuse back in the wrong spot, have you checked the diagram to see if it is correct? Please share your experience.
Have you checked whether you put it in correctly and if it is still good with a probe or fuse checker?
Shon9tilR that is awesome, glad to hear you fixed it. Double check and make sure you put the same same type of fuse (same AMP).
I have a 2000 beetle with tape deck.. it has it's own power button to turn on radio.. so my radio comes on but it is so low and is coming out of the front tweeters, I've tried to put it to back speakers but I get nothing.. is there a way to reset this radio? Thank you
Hey Stephen Robertson thanks for watching my video. In my opinion it sounds like you have an amplifier issue. To the best of my memory they are in the trunk on the drivers side, behind the panel. You may want to check if it is damaged and run some test on it. Please consider subscribing to my channel it would help me a lot, thanks.
There a way to turn on the stereo with the engine off
Thanks a bunch for watching my video and taking the time to comment. You can just try to press the power button with the key in the ignition. Please share an update, thanks.
I left mine running for over an hour and it’s still on 2 safe.
Hey Jayla Hendrick thanks for watching my video. Did you leave the car running or the radio?
❤❤❤
Glad to help, enjoy the car!
How do you reset the radio cd stuck in radio
Hey Ann Benade’ thanks for watching my video. The CD being stuck is a tricky situation, you may want to Google search how to remove stuck CD car radio. This will give you a set of things to look for and pay attention to. Please share an update.
Hi
Thanks googled it, took a few attempts but same as everyone was saying double sided tape on a thin knife cd sticks to tape & you pull it out
Hey Ann Benade glad you found a solution and thanks for sharing the information, will help so many more people, thanks again!
So this code is universal for the beetle? And if not how do I find the code for the radio. Because I just bought a 98 beetle and I don't know where to find the code
Hey AidenC C thanks for watching my video. In my opinion you need to pull the radio out, retrieve the serial number from the top of the radio and have your VIN on hand, with that information call a VW dealer and ask if they can tell you your radio code with that information. Please get back to me with your results. Also please consider subscribing to my channel, it would help me a lot, thanks.
@@ahhhsoapco.1446 thanks for watching my video. Thanks for sharing the info, wish you made it a separate comment but this is cool. Appreciate your input, let me know how it goes.
Wheel Tips:
I put my code in the radio and it came on, except it has no sound? Have you heard of this happing? I left my lights on an the battery was dead, I jump started it. That's why I need to put the Code in, you think jump starting my car may have blown a fuse? Anything will help...
Hey Marvin Duane Ball thanks for watching my video and for the great question. What year and model is your car? First place you can start is with Google searching your car model and year fuse panel locations. This will give you the first thing to check, also Google search if your car has an amplifier and if so where the fuse to it is located. Please share an update, thanks a bunch.
Wheels Tip:
2009 VW New Beetle...
When you entered the radio code are you able to select different inputs such as CD, do all inputs not give sound? Have you checked all the fuses often times people service the under-hood fuse box terminal that has 8 fuses on it, example part number of what I am referring to but maybe different for your car ( google search 1J0937617D ) . If you pull the fuses you may notice that the fuse inserts are burnt. Please share an update, thanks a bunch.
@@WheelsTips yes I am able to select all input such as CD, None have sound. I have checked all the fuses. I'm taking it to a VW dealer to see if they can fix it. I will post the fix, thank you so much for your posts...
@@marvinduaneball2476 Thank you so much for taking the time to update, looking forward to the fix, I hope it is just a fuse and not a bad radio/amplifier. Please share an update, thanks a bunch.
Do you know about outside mirrors on a 98 New Beetle? Somebody busted my passenger side mirror. Grrr. It’s flopping!!!
Thanks a bunch for watching my video and taking the time to ask a question. Truthfully with physical damage it is best to get it looked at in person to see the extent of damage. There are always used parts to save a buck, hope this helps!
@@WheelsTips thanks for your reply. I kinda knew that would be the answer, but you never know when there is a ‘magic fix-it wand’ out there!! Thank you!
Just checking in to see how you resolved the issue, thanks for any update.
How to change the code when radio is turned on?
Thanks a bunch for watching my video and taking the time to comment. This is an anti-theft feature so there is no way to change the code.

Hi I have 2005 beetle I want a Bluetooth radio can I buy anyone or does it need to be a specific one? Thanks
@@clairegoodlet2472 I know this is sometime after, the comment slipped by. Just wondering if you were able to get Bluetooth in your 2005 VW Beetle, thanks for any update.
I did this and it worked to get my radio working but now I can not get my radio to power on. Is there anything can do?
Thanks a bunch for watching my video and taking the time to comment. Have you checked all your fuses to ensure they are all good? Also, could you check the connection to the back of your radio? Please share an update; thanks.
My radio says SAFE and on the left coner it has the number 2 on it i cant get out of that how do i fix it so it can show wen i can punch my numbers in...?
Did you come right Mine is doing the same
Same here
Hey Carmen Sanchez, thanks for watching my video. Did you resolve your issue and if so how, I really appreciate you sharing any info, thanks.
I couldn't yet do u know how to get me of safe mode...
You have to leave your car running for a hour and its gonna return back to safe the og safe mode
Nothing is coming up on my screen. I press the scan and seek right and nothing happened! I have a 2002 VW Beetle Turbo. I just replaced the battery.
Hey SweetP Adventures thanks for watching my video. It is possible you have a bad fuse for the radio or entertainment system. Please let me know if you are familiar with your fuse box location so you could check your fuses. Please share your experience and good luck.
It beep to safe 2 , radio will not come on
The radio goes to 1000, but wont let me enter the code? What can I do about that?
Hey Bradley P thanks for watching my video my video. Sorry on the late response did you solve the issue, if not please let me know. If so please share your results, thanks a lot.
Hey Bradley P when it goes to 1000 you are not able to enter the radio code?
@@WheelsTips yes, clicking the preset buttons does not change the 1000 code on the radio.
Greetings it is the scan button and right seek button at the same time. Please let me know if that worked.
Do you have to have the radio on when you letting your car run for an hr
Hey nayah mitchell thanks for watching my video. I left the radio on while the car was running. Please share your experience and outcome, much appreciated.
Ok thanks
Does it keep it out of safe mode
It should eventually say safe, at which point you press scan and the right seek arrow to obtain the numbers display. Please let me know your outcome.
Hey nayah mitchell just checking if you got the radio to work and if so how, thanks for any update.
Stuck in Safe 2. It has been longer than an hour and I still get Safe 2. Not sure what to do.
Thanks a bunch for watching my video and taking the time to ask a question. Were you driving the car for that hour that the safe 2 is on? Has the safe 2 gone away? Please share an update, thanks.
I entered my code and it beeped but it still said said safe
Hey Danielle Cordova thanks for watching my video and for the comment. After you entered the code you held the right seek button for about 4 seconds? Are you certain that you have the correct radio code? Thanks for any update.
@@WheelsTips I got the radio code from my trunk near the spare tire. I entered it in and it made the beep noise but its stuck on Safe 2. I'm pretty sure that's the right code because a lot of people say it's either in the owners manual or in the trunk.
@@daniellecordova5175 Have you owned the car since the beginning? It is possible that your have a different radio or the code your have just does not match the radio. In my opinion you need your vin number and the serial number from the top of the radio, which would require you to pull out the radio to get that. Then you call the service department at a local VW dealership provide them with the VIN and serial, requesting your radio code they may be nice to tell you what your radio code is. Please share an update, thanks a bunch.
hey were you able to figure this out? i also tried the code i had by the spare tire and its saying safe 2..
Is the code different for every car? Mine’s not working
Hey TheEggyboo thanks for watching my video. What year, make and model are you working on?
@@WheelsTips Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet Tiptronic. I’m not too sure about the year but the car was first registered in 2008
Does the radio display say SAFE? Are you able to enter the digits are you pressing and holding the correct button after you enter the code? Please share an update, thanks.
@@WheelsTips yes I can see safe and I can click the numbered buttons to change the code. My issue is that I do not know what my code is. I’m guessing I’ll have to go the dealership and ask them to find this for me. Is that correct?
You don't always have to depending if your radio is original and potentially if the factory marked it. In you car the first place I would look is the trunk area by the spare tire - there is a sticker with your VIN number (a white one) below your the VIN number on the same sticker is a 4 digit number, that is your radio code. Also skim through your owners manual sometimes people leave a sticker with the radio code somewhere in the owners manual, it would be a sticker added or on the back or front pages someone may have wrote it in. Also in the same pouch as the owners manual there is a radio code card with the code. You can google image search, 2008 VW Beetle radio code sticker location, someone shows the sticker next to the spare tire for reference. Please share an update if this worked, thanks.
I just bought a 98 beetle 2.0L automatic. Im having a lot of issues with it, any advice would be much appreciated.
Transmission doesn't shift. Stays in what seems to be 2nd or 3rd all the time. Manually puting it in first and second seems to work but does not shift while in drive.
ABS light always on and red "break" dash indicator blinks and beeps three times. Break warning will do this while driving or in park if engine is revved.
Driver and passenger windows don't work using the switches but driver window does work using the key in the door feature. Only the driver's window and it works from either door.
Central locking works with door switches and exterior locks.
Door illumination on switches work on driver's side and dimming switch works.
Interior lights and sun visor lights dont work
Little red light on door locks do not blink when car is locked and alarm doesnt work.
Power mirrors dont work.
12v outlet closest to dash works but no illumination. 12v outlet near ebrake does not work and does not illuminate.
Previous owner has installed after market stereo which seems to work fine
There's more but i feel like this list is already pretty overwhelming lol
Any tips at all would be awesome, thanks in advance
Also, fuses check out. Both interior and under hood
Hey LitGeekSquad Official, thanks for watching my video. In my opinion, it looks like you have a lot going on and you are working on a 20+ year old car, which I recommend you find a way to communicate with the OBD system to better narrow down your issue. I recommend Google searching, OBD tools with your make and model. That way you have a starting point, since you already took care of the most basic physical check. Please get back to me with what you decide to do in your diagnosis of the car.
@@WheelsTips thanks so much man! It will be a huge help to have your input along the way. I'll keep you informed thanks again!
My pleasure! Good luck.
How can I get my code?
Hey rina vlogs, thanks for watching my video. If your radio code isn’t in your manual binder then, In my opinion you need your vin number and the serial number from the top of the radio, which would require you to pull out the radio to get that. Most local shops can do it relatively fast. Then you call the service department at a local VW dealership provide them with the VIN and serial, requesting your radio code.
@@WheelsTips My VW Dealer now says it has to come into shop that it needs to be scanned-local dealers no longer have access to codes $175 labor fee for an hour. I sent my numbers to ebay code provider...waiting to receive code then will follow your video for 2000 Clarion CD changer radio tape deck.
i rest my car for a day, still safe 2
Hey thanks for watching my video and taking the time to leave a comment, greatly appreciated. What I did in that situation was drove the car for a longer trip with the radio on or left the car running for about an 1.5 hours with the radio on. Looking forward to an update what worked for you, thanks a bunch.
