Volkswagen Repair: alarm/radio, computer glitches, alarm radio
Question1995 Cabrio
After getting a jump for drained battery, I mistakenly thought car was in neutral, but it was in gear and I killed the engine. It did start up again, but now the radio display reads "safe" and is frozen there no matter what buttons I push. (I would look in manual, but ex took it with him.) It has never done this before!?
AnswerChristine, thank you for your question. I hate when this happens. I found a site that might help you. http://www.nwlink.com/~vdb/vw/Electrical/Coding_Radios
This situation can happen when the onboard computer glitches from jumpstarting. Just as a side part of your question, every time I jumpstart a car, I shutdown every powered device except from hazards lights (when needed).
Hope this helps
