Anti-Theft Coding

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Volkswagen Jetta, 2017 Volkswagen Jetta, 2016 Volkswagen Jetta, and 2015 Volkswagen Jetta. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The Radio -R- is equipped with anti-theft coding, which operates in conjunction with the instrument cluster.

After disconnecting the radio power supply, the Radio -R- 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 anti-theft coding must be activated for the first time and that the Radio -R- 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 -R- that were used in the past are no longer used.

The Vehicle Diagnostic Tester must be connected "online" to determine the anti-theft code. The user must have the proper authorization to access the anti-theft code.

Reactivating a locked Radio -R- is only possible by entering correct anti-theft code for anti-theft coding.
