Bloody bloody brilliant ! Live in Australia, issue with radio and had it removed and sent to Melbourne for repairs, had never had code and memory backup battery went flat so code was lost . VW Australia had no code for this radio and put me in touch with outside company who held codes.They had no history of this radio or code so contacted original dealership who contacted VW parent company in Germany who would not release code? But same dealership would be able to find the code for $150 dollars. 5 x what it cost with online codes. Thanks very much guys thought I was on the way to owning a very expensive door stop Shirley on the gold coast QLD AU
