What is a VW Radio code?

A Volkswagen (VW) radio code is a safety function integrated into many VW car radios during manufacturing. This 4-digit code is designed to prevent unauthorized use of the radio unit. The radio code activates automatically if power to the radio is interrupted, such as when the battery is disconnected or goes flat.

When power is restored, the radio displays a message such as "SAFE", "1000" or "CODE," indicating that the code needs to be entered. This code is usually found in the car's manual or on a separate card. If you've misplaced or don't have access to your radio code, it can be retrieved from a VW dealership or using our online unlocking service.

How to get your VW radio code free

The first place to look for the radio code is in the vehicle's manual or other documentations. It's sometimes located on a card or a sticker in the manual. Check all the papers that came with the vehicle.

Check inside the glovebox or sides.

In some Volkswagen vehicles, you'll find a sticker in the glove box or on the sides of the glove box that contains the radio code. Do make sure to check both sides.

Contact your local dealership or Volkswagen customer service.

If you can't find the radio code in your vehicle's manual or glovebox, your next best option would be to contact a Volkswagen dealer. You may need to provide your vehicle identification number (VIN) and proof of ownership. While some dealerships may charge a fee, many will provide this service for free to their customers. Volkswagen's customer service is also a good option. You can contact them via phone or through their official website. They will ask you for some information about your vehicle, including the VIN, to verify you're the legitimate owner. Once they have verified your ownership, they will provide you with the radio code.

Locating the serial number

Whatever the model, all radios in Volkswagen cars have assigned a unique identification number, which you can use to retrieve the activation code. You can find this number on the labels attached to the side and the top of the box. To see these labels, carefully pull out your radio. Once out, locate the identification number by looking for the format: VWZ1Z1A1234567. Sometimes this number may have a letter at the final, which you need to ignore when getting the code.

How to pull out the radio

Removing a VW radio is easy and usually takes no more than 15 minutes. Preferably, using plastic tools (like these), remove the plastic mould that surrounds the radio. Next, unscrew the four screws that hold the unit and pull it out carefully (so as not to unplug any cables). We recommend that you take photos of both labels before reassembling the radio. For example, you can see these video guides for Polo, Passat and Golf. If your radio model is different, you can find more help on YouTube by looking for the car model you have.

Why is not free to unlock my code?

Currently, obtaining Volkswagen radio codes for free through an online service may prove challenging due to the complex nature of the calculations involved. However, if you're reluctant to incur any costs, consider contacting Volkswagen directly. Their contact information can be typically found by searching for your country's specific Volkswagen representation via Google. With your car's identification data and VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) readily available, Volkswagen may be able to provide you with the necessary code at no cost.

Refund policy

In terms of our refund policy, we stand firmly behind the quality and reliability of our services. If a product or service you purchase from us doesn't perform as promised or fails to meet your expectations, we offer a straightforward money-back guarantee. This ensures you can make your purchase with confidence, knowing that your satisfaction is our top priority.
