Charge you?!?!! Tell them to go F$#K themselves!!!!!
Try another dealer, give them the serial code on top of your radio (you will have to remove the radio) and bob's you uncle!

Shouldn't that be in the owners manual?

Re: I need my radio code. Anyonw work at vw?
Maybe, but the new cars don't have it in the manual anymore. When the dealership receives new stock, they have to get it from the factory directly. Skelms used to take the numbers from the manuals while the cars were in transit.panic-mechanic wrote:Shouldn't that be in the owners manual?

If they haven't supplied it I can't see how they can charge you for it....

Re: I need my radio code. Anyonw work at vw?
There is a way to do it without the code. Cant remember, but it went something like get in the car lock it – have someone on the outside disconnect the batt for 30sec. reconnect switch on exect. exct.
Speed is money......how fast do you want to go?

I still cant believe there is a market for the stock radio, the only good thing is it looks nice.kripstoe wrote:Maybe, but the new cars don't have it in the manual anymore.

Re: I need my radio code. Anyonw work at vw?
THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO CHARGE FOR THE RADIO CODE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It says on elsa and one or two other places that it is a free service.
The new cars dont come with codes as the programmed to cluster.
Get me a serial number and phone me ill get u code.
It is the vwz.......................... number on radio.Depending on the radio you can use vag-com and go into radio then rmvb channle 81.
All radios except old velo and beta/gamma or sharan/ford radio or old grundig radios.
If the serial number is a SEZ...................... number you wont get code from VW only from Fixtrade and then it will cost you.

Re: I need my radio code. Anyonw work at vw?
Barons Bellville and Barons N1 aslo tried to charge me R350 to get the code!
On top of that they wanted me to book the car in with them for a day!
It states clearly in the manual that they may not charge you for the code, but still they try!

Re: I need my radio code. Anyonw work at vw?
I think this is a bit late to reply but my code was written on the radio yes it is a 4 digit code,the manual tells you what to do to put the code in,just remove the radio and it should be written on the top.Hope this helps for someone in the future.

Re: I need my radio code. Anyonw work at vw?
It depends on the car's year. There was a point where they stopped putting the code on the radio because what is the point of an anti theft code if it's stuck on the device you are stealing?.

Re: I need my radio code. Anyonw work at vw?
I have a similar problem. I bought a single din vivo radio from a smashyard and they can't provide me with the particular VIN number. The radio powers up on my polo 9n3 (bujwa) but it requires a code and the stealerships want both the original VIN and radio serial number. How do they (stealerships) get the code when you buy a brand new vivo radio from them?

Re: I need my radio code. Anyonw work at vw?
Update: I went to Alpine VW Hillcrest (Durban) and they gave me the code for free, even though they had previously said they'll charge me R300. The only thing they required was my contact details and my Polo 9N3 VIN number. Next in line is an Aux. install and a speaker upgrade.Emvee wrote: ↑Thu Aug 16, 2018 1:10 pm I have a similar problem.

Re: I need my radio code. Anyonw work at vw?
I got my Radio code online from www.onlineradiocodes.co.uk - it cost about R350 and got the code within about 1 hour . As I am living in a rural area, driving to an agent was not an option. This is an option for those who do not want to go through the pain of booking in your car etc. and looking at the online cost vs the agent cost, it is very similar - but without the pain.

Re: I need my radio code. Anyonw work at vw?
Hi, last year, I was also finding Audi Radio Code, and then I found this website. By using it, I found my code within 10 Minutes. If you guys found any other website, kindly share it here because I'm a regular user
