Many Volkswagen vehicles are equipped with radios that require a special anti-theft radio code. This code is not required, unless the radio is removed from the vehicle, or the vehicles battery is disconnected.
I know I can't sell the old head unit without the security code, but the dealer didn't give me a card or any other paperwork with that information. I called the service department today and found out that it can be retrieved via the CAN port when the radio is installed in the car. Wish I had known that up front, but oh well... I didn't ask for details, but I'm assuming it can be done with the VCDS cable. Has anyone here done that? I may have to break down and buy a cable.
