VW Beetle, Putting Old Radio back in....

[TabathaAsks]

Following on from my previous post...

The new bluetooth radio that was fitted in my VW Beetle 2001 model, was draining the battery and making the car go flat.

So I think the best thing is to put the factory radio back in, however, stupidly its now broken due to a leak in the garage, so I can buy a factory radio on ebay fro around £20-£30.

However, I don't really understand this unlock code thing. If I buy an old one , how do I get this code and whats the process of fitting it ???

Thanks!

There is a reason they are cheap ....

A decent seller should have the code for the unit.

Is nicking car radios still "a thing"?

It could be the ign feed and permanent feed to the radio being wrong or maybe try a different head unit altogether? Ask a friend if they have one you could swap for a few days to see if it’s the same?
