VW Golf mk3/4 Cabriolet - Help with VW Gamma Radio - Danielle Hughes

Hi,

I recently bought a VW Golf and seller told me the code for the Gamma Radio was on the back of the radio but it isn't. I think that the car as learnt the code itself as a 4 digit code is showing in the screen but I can't get the radio, tape deck or 6 CD changer to work. Can somebody please help me as I really need some music in my car.

Many Thanks

Danielle

If it has the original radio fitted,then it should pick up any code stored from the instrument panel.When the radio is first switched on after a battery disconnect,the display should show "learn" and the unit should start to work without any code input. I could possibly get the correct code,but would need all the info off the radio label.However,realistically it may be easier just to get a more up to date unit installed.Do you really want a cassette player?and the cd changers rarely work on these.
