I Picked up my new vrs last night, sadly the previous owner must have had a different radio or somthing in and put the standard one back in to sell it so it keeps asking for the code now.

 

I have no idea what the code is and the previous owner doesnt know it either

 

i dont have the radio booklet or anything either to check so wonder if anyone has access to the information to get the code, i'll happily pay etc

 

Thanks.

Replace it, it's terrible anyway.

Its an option i suppose, i just like the OEM look, i replaced it previously with the MFD1 but wont be getting one of them untill after christmas at least.

 

If someone can get me the code for a few drinking tokens then its worth it even if it's only temporary.

Have you tried removing the radio again to see if codes written on the case?

Nah I havnt removed it actually. I'll check it later but chances are if he had the code he would have put it in when he fitted it. :(

It may be with the service history or manuals if they came with the car?

I had to replace my fabia radio last summer. I discovered that the car and not the radio itself retains the code and once a radio has been paired the car will accept it if reconnected so you shouldn't have to re-enter a code. If it doesn't work then possibly it was never used in your particular car. In my case I only wanted a basic radio and I bought a cheap early fabia one for £3.50 on ebay. When connected it worked straight off with no code so I assume the early/simple ones (2001 ?) do not use a code at all.

Call a soda dealer, they should have a radio code for your registration.

I've just bought the upgrade MFD1 Satnav instead for it

Nice!

Just been to the dealers to get a replacement service history book, seems a shame as my car has full service history but no book or proof!

So they've got me a replacement history book, I asked them about the radio code and they said they had no log of it etc but it costs £25+vat to get it if I wanted it.

A soda dealer is no good. He wants a radio code not a bottle of pop

Soda, Skoda, either way, they do not keep the code with the car details.
