Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

    Radio Security Code

    Out of interest (maybe a dealer can answer this one) why are new VWs sold without the security pin provided for the radio?
    I've had the joy ( ) of chasing the dealer/service centre on three separate occasions for them (for three different cars).
    You would think it would be a straight forward request, but no... Like blood from a stone.

    Because the car now knows the radio it was made with so if you ever disconnect the radio or battery then it self codes back in. If you take it out and put another car then it needs the code.

      Yep.

      Don't need it unless you're fitting it to another car.
