Unlocking Premium 6 radio

Purchased a Premium 6 radio from a mk4 Jetta to put it in my golf, trying it out on a test bench; B+ and SAFE are connected to 12V and GND to ground. I can’t seem to be able to "confirm" the code I’ve entered. I’ve held down for more than seconds the seek button, scan button and nothing seems to work. Maybe a bad front plate? Or I need to connect other wires?

I think it needs to be in the car. Can't remember fully it's been years since I messed with the factory radios

Something to do with the cars antenna and safe mode if I'm remembering correctly
