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. The RNS-510 is a 2-DIN unit held by screws behind the trim. 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. RNS-510 serials start with VWZ and are 14 characters long. The 6th character is always a number (for example, VWZ1Z7G1234567).

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

Volkswagen RNS 510
Turn the RNS 510 on and four dashes appear on the display. Turn the right rotary knob to highlight the first digit of your code and press the knob to confirm it. Repeat for each digit. When all four digits are on screen the OK button highlights automatically, press the knob once more and the unit unlocks.
What does an RNS 510 serial look like?
It is 14 characters beginning VWZ6Z, for example VWZ6Z7H1234567. Some units begin VWZAZ. The serial is on a sticker on the top or side of the casing, so the unit needs to come out of the dash for you to read it.
Which cars have the RNS 510?
The RNS 510 was VW's flagship touchscreen navigation unit, fitted to the Golf MK5 and MK6, Passat B6 and B7, Tiguan, Touran, Scirocco and Transporter T5. Our Volkswagen radio code page covers all of them.
Why does my RNS 510 say SAFE?
SAFE appears whenever the unit loses power and the anti-theft lock engages. Once you have your code, switch the unit on and enter it on the touchscreen when prompted. If the unit refuses input after several wrong attempts, leave it powered on for around an hour and try again.
Will the code change after a battery change?
No. The code is permanently tied to your RNS 510's serial number. Every time the battery is disconnected the unit asks for the same code, so it is worth keeping it safe with your service history.
