How to find your Volkswagen serial number

The guide below will show you exactly where to find your Volkswagen radio serial number.

Remove your radio
Step 1
Remove your radio
Remove the surrounding trim panels and slide the unit out of the dashboard. Depending on your model you will use a flat-head screwdriver, a prying tool, or radio release keys inserted into the corner slots. You do not need to disconnect any wires. The unit will slide far enough forward to read the label.
Find your serial number on the label
Step 2
Find your serial number on the label
Your serial number is on a sticker on the side or rear of the casing. All VW serials start with VWZ and are 14 characters long, for example VWZ1Z2H1234567 or VWZ5Z7L0496236.

Enter it into the box above and we will do the rest.

Note: the capital letter I and the number 1 look very similar on these labels. Check carefully before entering.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

VW Beta Radio Code Entry
Turn the ignition and radio on. The display shows SAFE, then 1000. Use the preset buttons to set each digit of your code, button 1 sets the first digit, button 2 the second and so on, pressing repeatedly until the right number shows. As an example, a code of 4573 means pressing button 1 four times, button 2 five times, button 3 seven times and button 4 three times. When your code is on the display, press and hold Scan and Mode together until the radio unlocks.
Which cars have the Beta radio?
The Beta was the standard cassette radio across 1990s and 2000s VWs, including the Golf, Polo, Passat and Caddy. The 14 character serial beginning VWZ is printed on the label on the radio casing.
Do I need a new code after a battery change?
No. The Beta always asks for the same code after any power loss. The code we supply is generated from the radio's serial number and stays valid for the life of the unit.
