VW in Walnut Creek and their service guy Ricky put the code into the unit to take it out of safe mode. Thanks Ricky! The unit looks and sounds great (output is identical in terms of volume as the o.e.m. H.U. ) despite the fact that virtually every post here and elsewhere said it would not work. Sometimes you gotta go with your gut, and mine told me this would work and it does. Good luck with your swap!
Hey thanks so much! Now that I have pulled the old one out, I think it would be worth a try if I still get this one. thanks again for the heads up.
