How to install '94 Jetta radio in '87 Cabby?

There should be 2 power leads goingto the radio, one for memory and the other for main power. Did you supply power to both of them and turn the knob on? The Bentley may have info on the radio's wiring, or it may be on the radio somewhere. Good luck on getting the code............let us know how you do it without the original car! ;-)

Your mileage may vary in getting a dealer to give you the code. I don't know if VWOA has an official 'policy' on this.

Last spring, I stuck a '93 "Premium" radio into my '85 Jetta and it asked for the code. I drove over to the local VW dealer (Herzog-Meier in Beaverton Oregon). The guy slid the radio out of the dash, wrote down what I presume was the serial number of the radio, went into the back room, and several minutes later came out and handed me a computer printout that had the security code. And did all this for *FREE* even though I was prepared to pay for it and even though I'm not a steady customer there.

However, a couple of years ago when I lived in Orlando Florida, I tried the same thing with an '88 Golf and the local dealer (Royal VW on Lee Road in Winter Park FL) absolutely refused to do it, even though I was (up to that point) a steady customer, and had in fact just finished spending hundreds of dollars with them on other things.
