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

Does the Passat use the same serial format as other VW models?
Yes. All VW Passat radios use the VWZ serial format: 14 characters starting with VWZ. The process is identical to other VW models.
Which Passat generations are covered?
All Passat generations are covered including the B5, B5.5, B6, B7 and B8. The radio type varies by year and trim but all factory units are supported.
Do I need special tools to remove the Passat radio?
Yes. VW radio release keys are needed for most Passat units. These slot into the holes around the radio fascia to release the locking tabs, then the unit slides forward.
