Recent cars--at least since 1986--have "DIN" size holes for radios. Most car radios will fit in this hole.
The 2003 Volkswagen Passat is equipped with an anti theft radio. If the radio is removed or the battery disconnected you must input the proper code from the drivers manual, or return to dealer.
A Volkswagen Passat radio code can be found at any authorized VW dealership or service manual. If the code is incorrect the radio will not turn on.
Go see the VW dealer. They have special tools.
Unfortunately the code can not be retrieved from a working radio. If you can not find the code you have to get the serial number of the radio and call the dealer for the code.

how do you remove a 1999 vw passat radio
HI i drive VW PASSAT 2001 AND MY RADIO IS LOCK...IS THERE A UNIVERSAL CODE MABY ?PLEASE HELP ME...I CANT LIVE WITHOUT MUSIC THANKS If you have the owners manual it should be in there. We bought ours from someone who didn't have the code BUT they had some work orders from a dealer and under the comment section the code was listed. It will say RC then it will have 4 numbers. Hopefully you have some old work orders that you can look at. Good Luck!!
go to radio shack or dealer, rs is alot cheaper
You need special "keys" to get them out. Take it to a dealer and they will probably use there tools to take it out for free.
The Code is on the Radio, or in the Spare tirewell! if it is not on the radio, remove the radio, call dealer and give them the radio serial number and your VIN number. Some Dealers like to charge for this, most do not.
It seems only a VW dealer can give you the code--they look it up from a database, based on both the car's DIN # and a part number on the radio itself. You can take the car to a car audio shop and they will remove the radio for you and then provide the necessary part numbers. Call the dealership and along with the VIN number they will provide you with the code. Once you have the code there are several steps you have to take to input the code.
remove the radio, and get the serial number. then go to the nearest dealership and they will give you the code to unlock the radio. i would also recomend writing it down and keeping it in the car, as i am sure you will experience this problem again
