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
Insert radio release keys into the corner slots and apply gentle outward pressure, or use a flat-head screwdriver and prying tool depending on the unit. The radio slides far enough forward to read the label. You do not need to disconnect any wires.
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. It starts with VWZ and is 14 characters long, for example VWZ1Z2H1234567.

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.

Later Sharans use RCD 310 and 510 units, while the original Mk1 carried Gamma-era radios. Every generation carries the VWZ serial on the casing label and all are covered.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Why does my VW Sharan radio say SAFE?
SAFE is the anti-theft lock mode. It appears when the radio loses power, for example after a flat battery or a battery change, and clears once the correct 4-digit code is entered.
Is the first-generation Sharan from the 1990s still supported?
Yes. The Gamma-era units in the Mk1 Sharan decode from their VWZ serial the same as the later RCD units. For a different Volkswagen, start from the main VW radio code page.
What does the serial number look like?
All VW radio serials begin with VWZ and are 14 characters long, for example VWZ1Z2H1234567. The label is on the side or back of the casing. Watch out for the capital letter I and the digit 1, which look almost identical on these labels.
The radio shows 2 SAFE and will not take the code. What now?
The unit has locked after too many wrong attempts. Leave the radio switched on for about an hour and it will accept the code again. Enter it carefully using the preset buttons.
