Sorry....your code will only be available from someone with access to the Main Dealer database or the unit will have to be taken into a Radio Decoding Service

It is unlikely to be available for free from anywhere on the Internet

They can obtain VW codes for a fee

SOURCE: radio code for 2003 honda pilot, and reset for maintanence light

There is a little fuse box to the left of the steering wheel with a cover over it. When you take off the cover on the under side of the cover there is a big number (like big font size) printed on a piece of paper. It like 5 or 6 digits long and obviosly numbers that can go into your stereo, like 1-6. If you type it in and it works it will make a beeping sound.

If that doesnt help, call your local Honda dealership and get the code from them. You can also obtain a user manual. All the needed info can be found on this page:

SOURCE: 98 VW Beetle used-no radio code- I have radio & car serial #'s...

I assume you have this unlocked by now, but here's an answer for someone else for the future :-)
if you have the original radio that come with the car, look in the wheel well in the trunk, where the spare tire goes. (yep, you'll need to stand on your head). there is a sticker that will have the 4-digit code on it.
enter that into the radio.
I can't remember off the top of my head which one it is, but either the >> Scan or the am/fm button will be the "enter key"

How do I get the radio code on my beetle?

The radio code is located in the owners manual. Usually on the radio flyer with a sticker showing the code. If you do not have that owners manual, you can call the VW dealer with you VIN number and they will get the code for you. They usually do not charge you for it, but it does take a little while for them to locate it in the system.

Trying to find the radio code to my 2000 Beetle Turbo

You must apply to your VW Dealership Service Department with your car and proof of ownership.
Radio codes are not available else where as this would defeat the purpose of a code.

If the radio was ever replaced or repaired the radio will need pulled from the dash to read the serial number on it. Most dealers do not charge for this service if you are a regular customer but some do.

Have you checked in your owners manual in case the code was written in the book or the code card enclosed with it?

Safe mode on 2001 vw beetle- how do I find my code?

If you're the original owner it should be in the radio part of the owners manual which is in a adhesive backed label form placed by the sales rep. Also comes in one if the plastic key tags. If all else fails remove your spare tire there should be a label with all your vehicles info.

Need to unlock 99 Beetle stereo!!

Hi, this is a common problem when people buy second hand cars and disconnect the battery to work on the car, they put the battery back on and find out the code needs putting in the stereo.

The problem is unless the original owners wrote it down in side the owners manual the only other option is take your car to the main dealers and they will then give you the code you need to take the car with you and maybe the log book they wont give this info out over the phone just in case the stereo has been stolen.

Their is no other way of getting this code as they dont give them out and as the codes are totally random their is no way of writing a program to hack these codes.

Sorry their is no easy fix for this but the upside is they wont charge you for giving you the code but you need to take the car with you then when they give you the code write it down in case you need it in the future or if you sold the car pass this info on to the new owner as they should have passed this on to you.

Let me know how you get on or if you need further assistance ok

Need code for radio in a 1998 VW Beetle. Have VIN# an radio serial #. Any help will be appreciated.

You will need to inquire from the VW Servive Center. The Dealer is one of the few people that can call in and get the radio code.

First check your Owner's Manual in case a prior owner wrote it down insed the manual. Also look for a sticker inside the spare tire wheel well. For some model years VW placed the code on a sticker and then put it in that location. My daughter has a 98 VW Beetle and we had to inquire of the Service Department. They didn't charge us to obtain the code, and it took less than 5 minutes to obtain.
