Step 1 of 3

How to find your Volkswagen serial number

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

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.

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 Gamma Radio Code Entry

Turn the ignition and radio on. The Gamma shows SAFE, then 1000. Use the preset buttons to set each digit of your code, button 1 for the first digit, button 2 for 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 displayed, press and hold Scan and Mode together until the radio unlocks.

Which cars have the Gamma radio?

The Gamma was fitted across the VW range through the 1990s and early 2000s, including the Golf MK3 and MK4, Polo, Passat and Transporter T4. The 14 character serial beginning VWZ is on a label on the top of the casing. Our Volkswagen radio code page covers all of them.

Is the code the same after a battery change?

Yes. The Gamma asks for the same code every time it loses power. Once you have it from us, it will unlock the radio after every future battery change as well.
