It really is a non-issue, my junk yard VW Heidelburg cassette stereo was
all of $35. No one is going to bother stealing one of these babies.

Subject: Re: s-a-f-e code on VW radios
If just any ol' Joe (or Jay or Jeff) can easily obtain
the code from the dealer, then where's the theft
security?
And how come the used unit I bought on eBay works
without asking for any sort of code?
Am I missing something here ..?
