Radio Is Stuck In Safe Mode Any Help On Finding A Codes To Fix It I Do Not Have Manual

I RECENTLY HAD A TUNE-UP DONE THE RADIO WORKED WHEN I TURNED
IT ON WHILE HOLDING MODE BUT THEN OFF EVERY 10 MIN NOW IT WONT GO ON AT ALL .

Is it displaying safe or is it dead? If you don't have the code you can only hope someone wrote it on the radio itself. Otherwise you have to get the serial # off the radio & the VIN of the car & take to VW. Most dealers now charge for the code.

I have the same problem as SKEETS44, except I'm lucky enough to have the unlock code. Now my problem is, how do you enter the code?
I tried using the hh:mm setting of the clock (as someone told me), but that doesn't do the trick. Any help would be appreciated.

You press the seek & scan or mode & scan, depending on which radio you have, at the same time for a couple seconds. The display should then go to 1000. Each of the radio preset buttons #1-#4 control the digit in that place. Push the presets so that your code is displayed then press the seek & scan or mode & scan again. The radio should turn on.

Yes, that's the procedure but I only get 2 tries and it'll lock out for 1 hour .
I'm trying to find the code for #VWZ5XB581732 The radio is made by Mitsushita for VW and model #357035180AX

took the radio out and found the code written on the radio itself... a different code than what was written in the owners manual...all okay but now I want to replace it with a cd player.
For $2. bought a program off ebay which lists hundreds of codes for many radios but not mine. They say the program covers 90% of most radios & I believe it.
If you need a code, email me and I'll see if it is listed.
