If your radio code is missing, you have a few options.
The slower way to get it is by contacting a dealer, car manufacturer, or authorized service center.
They typically ask for your VIN, proof of ownership and car documents, and sometimes even a registration certificate.
The process is frequently slow.
Some charge a fee (which can be expensive), while others offer it for free - but it can take hours or days.
Fees vary, and turnaround times range from same-day to several days.
Useful for verification, but not the most time-efficient route.

Use the radio preset buttons or numbered keys to enter the code.

Yes, all Volkswagen vehicles with factory-installed radios require a radio code after battery disconnection or radio replacement. This applies to all models including Golf, Passat, Polo, Tiguan, Jetta, Touareg, Arteon, T-Roc, and Transporter/Caddy vans.
The anti-theft feature is standard on all VW radios including RCD 200, RCD 210, RCD 300, RCD 310, RCD 510, RNS 310, RNS 510, Gamma, Beta, and Composition systems manufactured by Blaupunkt, Becker, and other VAG suppliers. Your 4-digit code is permanently linked to your radio's unique serial number. VW shares radio systems with Audi, Skoda, and SEAT brands.
Start by checking the owner's manual. The code is sometimes found on a small card or written directly on a section.
You can also check the glovebox or trunk, where dealers or previous owners may have stored a sticker with the code. Some also check behind trim pieces or inside the fuse box.
If you have the original factory-issued code slip, that's the simplest place to find the code - it usually includes both the serial number and unlock key.
There are a few options - but they don't always work.
