VW Golf Radio Codes

VW Golf Mk 4 (1997-2003) Gamma

In the older Mk 4 Golfs, the radios require a set of release keys to remove the radio, which is needed to get the serial number for the code. Insert the release keys in the holes and the radio should slide out. Removal video is attached for extra help.

Example serial: VWZ1Z2G2378456

VW Golf RCD 300 (2003-2007)

The Mk 5 Golf radio, the RCD 300, will need to be removed to get your serial number for the code. You will need just a screwdriver and a prying tool for this process.

First of all, remove the cover on top of the central air vents above the radio, revealing the 2 screws. Unscrew and pry out the vents, revealing the radio's screws. Once this is done, you can remove the radio and find your serial number.

Serial example: VWZ1Z2H1234567

VW Golf Mk 6 (2008-2011) RCD 310

To get your code for this type of radio, you need to remove it from the dash. It is a fairly simple process, using a prying tool, prize out the plastic trim surrounding the radio, and uncovering the 4 screws behind it. Once you unscrew the radio, pull it out to locate your 14-character VWZ serial on the label.

Example Serial: VWZ4Z2L1123682
