Donna,

If you don't have the radio code (it was supplied to you with the
owner's manual), then you have to pop the radio out and write down the
serial # on the side of it.  Then just call the service department of
the local VW Dealer and ask them the code.

I never coded the radio myself.  Is my radio frozen forever?  Any remedies?  I love this radio - better than even the one in my new commute car.
