How to Unlock the Radio of a Volkswagen

Model: Volkswagen Volkswagen Various
Part: Car stereo

To unlock the radio of a Volkswagen vehicle, first find the serial number. In some cases, it appears on the screen when you turn it on, but it is definitely located on the back of the unit (so you will need to remove it to read the sticker). Sometimes, you can also find this number in the instruction manual or on a card in the onboard instrumentation. Absolutely avoid entering random codes! The radio will become permanently locked! Instead, use radiocode.com, entering the serial number or the model of the radio. The site generates the correct code securely. Once you have the code, write it down in the manual, on your phone, or on a sticker to keep in the glove compartment; in short, do not lose it again. If you need to access hidden menus or updates, always remember to unlock the radio: some functions are not accessible while the radio is locked.
