Your dealer can look it up for you. Should be a free service if they are nice.

SOURCE: radio unlock code

For this code you most likely would have to get it from VW. Unless you get lucky and fine it on the internet. There is a good site to fine that can off stuff just look up the web site scribd.
Hope that this helps.

Cheers

SOURCE: re sitting the radio in my VW golf

The number buttons on the stereo change the code, so push the 1 button 3 times for 3, 2 button 1 time for 1, and so on. If your code was 2255, you'd hit the 1 button 2 times, the 2 button 2 times, the 3 button 5 times, and the 4 button 5 times. When the code is displayed on the screen, you press Mode and Scan at the same time AND HOLD THEM until the radio unlocks. It'll let you know if it's the right number.

SOURCE: Check engine light on. Trouble code P0599.

this code is for the theremostat heater control sensor that is under the intake. very labor intensive and should be handle by a quilified tech. the reason the code will not clear is because it is a hard fault and it is seeing it constantly or you do not have the proper scan tool with the correct software. it needs to be vag software and you can get one of these off ebay for under 50 dollars.

you can check the respected fuse for ecm circuit -j220 if that is okay it will need to be tested further.

let me know if you have any more question. good luck

SOURCE: I have a 99 vw

IMPORTANT NOTE: You must have the security anti-theft code for your VW radio from the car manufacturer, or from a VW dealer!

The sequence of programming for VW radio is:
1. Push simultaneous "SCAN" and "RDS" keys until on the screen will appear "1000" displayed.
2. Release keys. No more push on "SCAN" and "RDS" keys because otherwise number "1000" will be considered as first safe code attempt.
3. By the #1 key you will set up the first safe code digit.
4. By the #2 key you will set up the second safe code digit.
5. By the #3 key you will set up the third safe code digit.
6. By the #4 key you will set up the four-th safe code digit.
7. Then push again simultaneous "SCAN" and "RDS" keys for confirm this safe code. On the screen will be displayed "SAFE" notice. Release keys! For few seconds a radio frequence will be displayed. The radio is now ready for use!

Air conditioner suddenly stopped working on my 2003 passat wagon glx 4 motion

Possibly. Check for the proper amount of freon in the system. There are pressure sensing switches that stop the compressor as a safety measure.

How to unlock a radio for a 2005 chevy equinox

If the owner's manual is still with vehicle, look in the section explaining the sound system. There will be a section explaining how you can reset the radio code, as well as locking and unlocking the radio. If you choose to reset the code, write it down for safe keeping...but not in the owner's manual.

2002 VW Passat GLX AWD, stereo stopped working

HI,
Passats can be reset if the radio is pulled out and the fuse on the back is removed. Wait for 2 mins, reinsert the fuse and turn the radio on. If this doesn't work, please take it to the dealer for the unlocking of the code, for which he may charge you some fee.

Do let me know if it was helpful.

Regards
Kanu

Where can i get a free owners manual for my 97 vw passat glx 6cyl automatic?

"Free" will be a problem. The best place to find a "free Owner's Manual" is to copy one from another Passat owner. You can purchase copies of the owner's manual from a variety of on-line sources, and even on eBay. Chances are that you are not the original owner, otherwise VW of America may be able to help. Unlike General Motors, VW does not offer downloadable copies of their Owner's Manuals from the VW Owners website.

VW PASSAT 2004 CD PLAYER ERROR 1

This happened to my 2004 as well just last month. It kept spitting the CD out and giving me the error message. I took it into the dealership and since it was under warranty still, they just replaced the whole radio system.
