    Sat nav asking for code?

    Could this be the postcode of where your destination is...?

    Or do you mean radio code as per your title...?

    Phone the supplying dealer for the radio code or have a route thru the handbooks.

    i think he maybe means he has bought a second hand original volkswagen built in satnav/stereo for his car.and it is asking for the code.

    yep correct ...just got a satnav/stereo from ebay and fitted it on and its in safe mode and is asking for a unit code ....

    What can i do? is there a way to do it for free rather than take it to the dealers and get them to do it ...?

    Have you asked the ebay seller? May sound obvious but they should have the info & code from when they purchased it...
