Where to find your Volkswagen radio serial
Many VW group radios have a serial starting with VWZ, AUZ, SKZ or SEZ followed by more characters. It is printed on a label on the radio. On some units it can be shown on screen with a button combination.

How we handle Volkswagen requests
Every request needs your email, accepted terms and an owner statement. This service is for owners restoring their own radio only.
Audi, Skoda and Seat
These brands share many radios with Volkswagen. Choose your car's brand on the form and enter the serial exactly as printed, prefix included.
Official Volkswagen options
A Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda or Seat dealer can usually retrieve the code with proof of ownership. Some charge a fee. Check the radio code card in your service pack first.
Radio shows SAFE
If the screen shows SAFE, leave the radio switched on with the ignition on for a while before entering the code. Some units need this before they accept it.
Entering your Volkswagen code
Use the preset buttons to set each digit and confirm. Too many wrong tries will lock the radio for a while. Full steps: how to enter your radio code.
