Security Code for Radio?

[Jen's Jetta]

Wondering if I disconnect battery will I need code for radio to work after I reinstall battery?
Where do I find it and how do you use it?

[MOEZER]

hey dude im not sure if it will mess up with the code but if it does need it then it should be on the back of ur car manual

Call your dealer with the VIN, they can look the code up for you if you need it. If not it should be written in your owners manual.

yes, if you disconnect your battery it will reset your radio. but it should be in your owners manual

Maybe I got lucky but:
I removed the battery on my '02 GLS w/ anti-theft and Monsoon and did not need to enter the code. Battery was out maybe 10 minutes or less? You may need to pass a time threshold for the radio to lock out. So work fast.

i have an 02 jetta and did need the code, i called the dealer and gave them the vin number and also the 14 diget code on the radio and they gave me the code

I have disconnected my battery numerous times and it did not reset my radio. sometimes it does, sometimes it does not i guess....

Back when I had my monsoon radio I disconnected my battery all the time and the radio did fine. If it's for a short amount of time I wouldn't worry about it.

I have to monsoon setup and have left batt disconnected for 24hrs with no problem

I never once had the radio reset when I disconnected the battery on my 03 mk4-but I never had it undone for more than a day. I had the premium stereo package -I believe it was called monsoon too.
