I had to change the battery on my friend's 2001 Audi A4 with the 2.8L V6. When you swap out battery in the Audi, the radio will go into locked mode. To unlock it, you need an anti theft radio code which the dealer is supposed to provide it to you free of charge when you buy a new car or a 2nd hand car from an Audi dealer. My friend brought her A4 new from the dealer and as expected, the dealer never included the code in the manual. Now if you need the code, the dealer is going to ask you to pay $65 or more just to get a code from their database. Nice way to rip off your customers, Audi. The work around solution is to buy this accessory, which uses a 9VDC battery to power the settings in the radio as well as the power window settings while you replace the battery. Replacing the battery in the A4 is quite complicated as you have to remove a bunch of plastic panels to get access to the battery next to the firewall. This accessory works like a charm with the A4. The radio works, the power windows work after I swap out the OEM battery for a battery from Autozone. The price on Amazon for this accessory is cheaper than getting a similar piece from Autozone for example, however shipping can be quite expensive and this brings up the price to the same as your local Autozone, the only difference being sales tax.

Checked device with a voltmeter before and after use and it was providing about 4 to 8 volts at the plug with a new 9 V battery. Green light was on and key was set on ACC position per instructions. Followed all instructions but lost computer memory and lost MPG history and I had to enter the radio security code.

This product met all expectations. I was looking for a handy way to be able to save the radio and engine management settings while disconnecting the car battery on my Explorer. This vehicle has a shield over the battery that prevents one from checking the water level without disconnecting the terminals. Using this product successfully prevented the loss of the settings.

I purchased this to keep me from having to reprogram my radio presets and from having to find the security code for my car radio when I replaced the battery in my car. Read more

Didn't work for me
Didn't work for me. A total waste of money and time. I used it when I changed the battery on my 2008 Toyota Rav4. I lost all my radio settings.

Seller and item were fine, it just didn't work
Perhaps it is my car, but this device did not save any of my settings (radio, clock etc.). I thought sure it would work as when I plugged it in prior to disconnecting the car... Read more
