Need radio codes for VW PASSAT 1999 gamma

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

You can find the radio code at: http://www.radio-code.co.uk/

The sequence of programming for a 1999 VW Passat radio is:
1. Simultaneously push "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.
For example: we have the security code "5079". Then:
3. By the no.# 1 key you will set up the first safe code digit. Push 5 times on the no.# 1 button. The "5" number will be setted.
4. By the no.# 2 key you will set up the second safe code digit. Push 10 times on the no.# 2 button. The "0" number will be setted.
5. By the no.# 3 key you will set up the third safe code digit. Push 7 times on the no.# 3 button. The "7" number will be setted.
6. By the no.# 4 key you will set up the four-th safe code digit. Push 9 times on the no.# 4 button. The "9" number will be setted.
7. Then simultaneously push again "SCAN" and "RDS" keys to 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 to use!

u will need to call vw dealer

as far as im aware its only American dealers that keep the codes on file(you will have to pay them for that info)anywhere else in the world you will have to get the radio recoded by a specialist or replace it.the car had a code card inside the info pack when NEW.

Go to any VW dealer, tell them you took your battery out to recharge it over night and forgot about the code. they will get the code for you, this shoudl be free of charge, I did just that :)

Sorry...Main VW Dealer or a Radio Decoding Service only for this code

There might be a sticker in the glove box or on the back of the fuse box lid. If there is not sticker there with your radio code, Log on to radio-code.com. There is a $12.00 fee, but at least you can get your radio working again and for much less then the dealer. The other thing to that may work is carfax.com may have that information by using your VIN number. Good luck and hope you get your radio working again soon.

Passat 97 need to re-enter code ( 4 ) digit, however it shows the number 2 on the on screen when the radio is turned on.
Help. I need to know the steps to reset. thanks

I left my radio on for one hour, then re enter the code (the one I was trying to enter was the wrong one). Radio is working well.
Thanks

remove radio and fit a decent one. use the money vw would charge to recode it to buy a cd player with warranty. buy/borrow the two keys to remove the gamma
