Caution: Depending on the radio version, before disconnecting the battery, make sure you have the radio code. If the code is unknown, the radio can only be reconnected at a VW service station or via the manufacturer. The code number is listed in the radio operating manual. This code must not be stored in the vehicle.
The VW beta and gamma radio systems are coded via the instrument cluster. Therefore, when disconnecting and reconnecting the power supply, as well as when removing and installing the radio itself, it is not necessary to enter the security code.
The factory installed radio is equipped with a mount with guides that allow for quick installation and removal of the radio. First of all, two VW-3316 pullers are required for this.
