Hi!...Does anyone here know or can direct me to a site where I can retrieve a
code for a VW radio that a friend gave me since he'd replaced it with a off the market CD player? When I power up the radio, a message shows: 'SECURITY" and it doesn't have any functions at all. Your help much appreciated. Alphie |

Your friend should have the code in the instruction book that came with the car and radio. If not, the dealer's service rep must replace the EPROM in the radio. Most of the time this costs about $50 to $100 depending on the model. They will not sell you the parts directly, this is a dealer item repair only. -- Jerry Greenberg GLG Technologies GLG ============================================== WebPage http://www.zoom-one.com Electronics http://www.zoom-one.com/electron.htm Instruments http://www.zoom-one.com/glgtech.htm ============================================== |

That's a security feature, avoiding a stolen radio to work on another car.
Everytime power is cut, the radio enters this protection mode. The friend who sold the radio to you must have the code. If not, he may contact VW to retrieve it.
