Radio coding - 99 Jetta

Dec 06, 2005 5 Replies

Just bought the car. It's been in the shop for a couple of weeks - timing belt, water pump, fender, rust,.... Previous owner had stereo, removed; no manual so no code for the original radio.



It's now in safe mode.



Dealer wants $50 for the numbers.



Are there any cheaper options?



I don't know how good your stereo is, but I recently purchased a new AM/FM/CD for about that same amount of money, and did not have to worry about codes because, being a non-VW unit, there is no code. It works fine, and was easy to install into my '88 Cabbie.

Tried; message bounced back.

If you post another address, or try me by removing the spamproofing period after the "w" in mine, I'd appreciate it!

Thanks.

Jack
