Anti-Theft Coding
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Volkswagen Passat, 2014 Volkswagen Passat, 2013 Volkswagen Passat, and 2012 Volkswagen Passat. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The Radio/RNS -RX1- is equipped with convenience anti-theft protection, which operates in conjunction with the instrument cluster.
After disconnecting the radio power supply, the Radio/RNS -RX1- is ready for use again once the power supply is connected. The anti-theft code does not need to be entered again. The requirement is that the first activation of the anti-theft system follows and that the Radio/RNS -RX1- is reconnected in the same vehicle.
Use the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester to get the anti-theft code. The radio card and the label on the radio that were used in the past are no longer used.
