My radio is locked on my 96 4 dr vw jetta what is the code?

The code is in the owners manual. If you can't find it stop into a VW dealer. Or simple call a VW dealer.

you may have to pay

press button one as meany times as your first number and same for button two with second number and so on . your raidio should then start .

You may want to go ahead and check all of your fuses as almost all radios these days require two power sources in order to work.

This happened with a 96 trek I bought - it's either the dealership, or (like I did) put a $125 kenwood in it.

Sorry.

You will likely need to take your vehicle's VIN# to the VW Dealer to have the code provided. In some VW's the code can be found inside the trunk (spare tire well) or written in the Owner's Manual by a previous owner. The VW Dealer can only provide the original code, unless they have a record of previously changing the radio.

Way too many codes to run through each code manually.

Send the request via email through this site these guys can help or go back to dealer and get them to get it for you.

Below is procedure once you have the code:

* Turn on radio -- the word "SAFE" will be displayed.

* First press the MODE button and then press the SCAN button and hold them down simultaneously until "1000" appears in the frequency display. Release the buttons. Do not, under any circumstance, continue holding the buttons down or press them once again. This would cause the radio to take the number "1000" as the code number.

* Using the first four radio station buttons, enter the code number found on your Radio Card. Use button 1 to set the first digit of the four digit code, button 2 to set the second digit, etc. The first digit of a four digit code must be "1". If your code number has three digits, the first digit on display must be set blank.

* Once the code is shown on the display, press and hold the MODE button and SCAN button simultaneously until the word "SAFE" appears in the frequency display. Release the buttons. A radio station frequency will automatically be displayed. The radio will now play once again.

If, when cancelling the electronic lock-up, a wrong code number is entered by mistake, the word "SAFE" will appear in the frequency display first blinking, and then continuous.

You can now repeat the entire cancelling procedure but only once. The number of attempts will be shown in display.

If the wrong code number should be entered again, your radio will be locked up for approximately one hour. The radio will not play. Leave the radio switched on. After an hour, you can cancel the electronic lock-up as previously described.

This cycle, two attemps - one hour lock-up continues again. //

You will need to enter the radio unlock code. The lock code maybe on a sticker in the trunk, or consult a VW dealer to get the unlock code.

you might have bad ground to transmision that happen to my 01 jetta were it would just kind of rmp no shifting gears dealer said it was bad ground to trany

Check the owners manual. Sometime dealers will write the code in the front or back cover.
