Title: VW Radio Locked, Need Help!!
Post by: technoslik on October 30, 2008,12:36:31
 :music:I need to rock to music in my VW Cabrio. I purchased a used Cabrio (98 Mod) but it seem the original radio was replaced. I cannot unlock the radio and now VW is telling me the serial number of the radio do not match the vin of the car...... not much help there.
I'm not sure who made the radio but it does have the VW logo on it with a Model # PE9839W01 and the Serial # 3608948. Can anyone help?
I'm a Tech but I do not have the service manual for this radio, I want to know if the code is added data to a serial Eprom or CPU in this unit. Maybe I could obtain the info from its hex or bin info. Let me know, that's if you know!!

 :huh1:No luck with that code. The first digit on the radio can only go from blank to the number 1, the other three digits can go from zero to nine. Model is PE-9839W-01 and the code on the chassis is VWZ9Z7V39608948. Can anyone help with UNLOCK SOFTWARE or code? I also want to be sure I'm doing the right thing in entering the code, if you can provide any instruction; your help would be very welcome.

AFAIK there is no serial calculator that will work with this radio.  What make is the radio?  Grundig, Blaupunkt etc?  More likely than not the code will be in the eeprom of a motorolla MC68CH05B16 or HC05B32.  Be careful when reading thoug as some models are sucured and if you try to read it you cabn erase the eeprom.  Give me more details and I wil advise further.
