1 Find your radio serial number

The serial number is on a label on the side of the radio chassis. You'll need to remove the radio to read it.

  • Number starts with VWZ.
  • 14-character code (letters + numbers).
Heads Up: Some vehicles require the radio to be removed to retrieve the radio serial number. Our service does not include radio removal. Free vehicle-specific removal videos are often available on YouTube by searching for your vehicle’s year, make, and model followed by “radio removal.”

2 Find your vehicle's VIN

The 17-character code on your driver's side windshield, registration, or door jamb. Any VW VIN works — doesn't have to match the radio's original vehicle.

About Volkswagen radio unlock codes

Many Volkswagen vehicles are fitted with a factory radio that uses an anti-theft security code. This Volkswagen radio code is only needed if the stereo loses power — a dead or replaced battery, a disconnected battery, or a radio that was removed from the dash. When that happens the radio locks and will not play until the correct unlock code is entered.

We retrieve your Volkswagen factory radio unlock code from the radio's serial number and email it to you, ready to enter using your preset buttons.

Radio-Code.com has provided factory car stereo unlock codes since 1998.
