Stereo! (GT TDi 2003)

Hi fellow golfers,

Can anyone tell me how I go about finding out my stereo code?

I have to disconect my stereo to instal a car hands free kit and don't want to do this until I have the stereo code, I have looked through my manuals and unfortunately the page with the code on was removed by the previous owner!

Any advice........?

maybe worth going to a vw dealer where they will either reset it and put a new code in or get the original code, think thats the only way round it.....

unless anyone else has any ideas.......

Ta for the response mate. Did consider doing that but am wary of the dealership costs! Was wondering if there was a cheaper option out there?

im not sure of any other option out there but if you get a quote from your dealer.....
see how you like the price ???
or have you already checked out the price

Check your local car accessories shop (not *********) most of them have business cards on the counter advertising local companies that decode radios cheap. Failing this (and only as a last resort) it might be worth checking on ebay for a decoding service. I recall seeing one advertised for approx £25 I think it was, incl post

Ta for the advice guys, will defo check that out.

In the mean time I was searching on the web for that kind of service and found this.......

Might give these guys a go, what do you think? Anyone had any dealings with companies like this?

For the sake of £5, it's worth a try I suppose!

just go to the vw dealer they will find the code for your car.phone them up and they will give u a time to take it in to them.they need the serial number on the back of your stereo.then,there head office will give them the code in a time window on the day.it should not cost any more then 10 pounds.it cost me 10 pounds when i got mind done.u will get a receipt with the code on it.hope this helps.
