From VW Passat: My endless sorrow

The dreaded “SAFE” mode which plagued my car radio for over a year.

In order to reset the SAFE mode for another attempt to enter the radio code, I needed to switch on the radio for one hour. So I took a very long drive (52 minutes) to the Korean grocery store, sat in the idling car for another 8 minutes, and tried the new found radio code and it worked.

The revived non-SAFE radio!

And now, music (or noise) once again.
