i don't even know when this question was asked, but you should have a card that came with your car (maybe in your handbook?) that has a code. you use your radio station buttons until you have that code entered in your digital readout area and then your radio will work.
go to radio shack or dealer, rs is alot cheaper
Yes it did.
It is underneath the radio in the hazard switch itself. The relay is built into the switch
There are 2 short, flat metal tabs that came with your car, that you slide into the two slots on the front of the radio. This will trigger the release, and the radio will slide straight out.
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.
Check your fuse panel
This may help.... my wife's 2000 Beetle had terrible reception and static. I purchased a longer antenna on-line and installed it (very easy on the Beetle). Problem solved.
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.
the code could be inthe spare tire compartment on a white sticker that also has the vheical vin number on it.
I have a 1970 beetle that needs a radio. It looks like it was removed from the inside of the bonnet. The wiring is still under the bonnet. Is your radio broken and are you interested in selling the radio or do you know where I can find a vintage radio for my beetle. I have had no luck for several years. s
The easiest way to reset your 2002 VW Beetle radio is to remove the radio fuse. Keep the radio fuse out for 10 seconds and replace it to its original slot.
the radio code is on the back of the radio. take the radio out and you can see it.
