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 Golf Code Entry
Turn the radio on and CODE then 1000 shows on the display. Use the top two buttons each side of the screen to input the code. Press the top left button repeatedly until the first digit you need appears, then move to the next button for the next digit. An X on the display marks the digit you are changing. Once your full code is showing, press the bottom right button next to ENTER on the display.
Which radio does my Golf have?
Golf MK5 and MK6 models usually have the RCD 300, the most common radio we decode for any brand. Higher trims carry the touchscreen RCD 310, RCD 500 or RCD 510, and navigation models have the RNS 310 or RNS 510. Your serial number tells us exactly which unit it is.
What does a VW Golf radio serial look like?
It is 14 characters long and starts with VWZ, for example VWZ1Z2E8123456. The two characters after VWZ identify the radio: VWZ1Z is an RCD 300, VWZ4Z an RCD 500 or 510, and VWZ6Z or VWZGZ an RNS navigation unit. You will find it on the sticker on the radio casing.
Why does my Golf radio say SAFE?
SAFE means the anti-theft lock is active because the radio lost power. Turn the ignition and radio on, wait for 1000 to show, then enter your code with the preset buttons. If SAFE stays on the screen, too many wrong codes have been tried. Leave the radio powered on for about an hour and it resets.
Will my code still work after a battery change?
Yes. The code belongs to the radio unit and never changes. Every battery change triggers the same lock and the same code unlocks it, so keep the code with your documents once you have it.
Which Golf generations are covered?
All of them. From the MK3 and MK4 cassette era through MK5 and MK6 RCD units to MK7 touchscreens, the code is generated from the radio serial, so the model year of the car does not matter.
