I knew there must have been a "clause" :)

Actually... I replaced my radio in my 84 Westy with this one.  Bluetooth, and a very easy install.  Sony DSX-M55BT

I've been very happy with it!

I had the same issue with my 93 eurovan. My local VW dealer was able to provide me with the code to unlock the radio. I think they used my VIN. 

Good luck
