Call your local VW dealer. Give them your VIN and the serial no. off of the radio. I just did this with a junk yard VW radio. Evidently after lock up, it defaults back to the original code, which they can give you. I am guessing the VIN just certifies you are a VW owner, because this radio did not come from my car. There was no charge and it only took them few minutes. Jay

Quick question on original radio/stereo from my 1990 Jetta TD. Sorry folks about the non-vanagon content but i really don't know what to do at this point. On this particular version of radio i have managed to use up the 4 tries one gets to input the stereo code before the radio locks up for good. Don't even ask how i managed this, as i speak my head is hanging in shame. I have heard that i need to have a new "chip" installed to unlock it. Is there another way? Does anyone know if this security "chip" can be bypassed? I don't need this security for the stereo but i would like to keep my car as original as possible. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. 87 Vanagon GL 7pass 90 Jetta TD
