Answer 1

most vw dealers require you to come in with the car with the radio in it and the car registered in your name to give you a code. they will pull the radio out to get the radio serial # which they use with the vehicles vin# to get the code out of their computer. they will probably charge one hour labor for 10 minutes work. my advice is YOU pull the radio just far enough out of the dash so they can see the serial #. dont unplug or remove the radio from the car. a nice dealer might give you a free code. also note you need a vw radio removal tool to get the radio out. these are easily available thru almost any stereo shop. ask nicely and they might let you borrow them or offer an installer a soda or something and he might do it for you. it takes seconds. in fact the stereo dealer may have a relationship with a dealer who will supply a code. read your owners manual for how to put the code into radio. good luck.
