Find Alpha Serial Number

The serial number for your Volkswagen radio is an essential piece of information required to unlock it. This number can be found on a sticker adhered to the metal casing of the radio unit. The serial number begins with the prefix "VWZ" and is 14 characters long¹.

To locate this sticker and find your serial number, you will need to extract the radio from your vehicle. This process can seem daunting, but it is actually relatively straightforward and usually takes only a few minutes. The extraction procedure involves carefully removing the dashboard panels surrounding the radio, unfastening any screws or bolts holding the radio in place, and then gently pulling the radio out of its slot².

If you're unsure about how to go about this, there are numerous resources available online to guide you through the process. For instance, this YouTube Playlist provides step-by-step instructions on how to remove a Volkswagen Alpha radio, which can be particularly helpful.

My Alpha displays "SAFE"

When you begin to input your radio code, the display will change from "SAFE" to "1000". This indicates that the system is ready for you to input the code. At this point, you can start entering your unique radio code.

However, if after attempting to enter the code, you see "2 SAFE" displayed and it does not change, it signifies that too many incorrect codes have been entered previously. The system has temporarily locked you out as a security measure.

In order to regain the ability to enter the code, you will need to leave the radio powered on for 60 minutes. During this period, the car does not need to be running. Simply turn the key to the accessory position (usually one click before the 'ON' or 'RUN' position). This will supply power to the radio without starting the engine or draining too much of your car's battery.

After the 60 minutes have passed, the radio system should reset itself, allowing you another chance to input the correct code. Be careful while entering the code to avoid locking the system again.

Enter Alpha Radio Code

Your Volkswagen radio code is a 4-digit sequence, consisting of numbers from 0 to 9. Despite the fact that your radio only has buttons numbered 1 through 6, you can still enter your code using the following method:

1. Repeatedly press button 1 until the first digit of your code appears.
2. Follow the same procedure with button 2 for the second digit of your code.
3. Repeat this process with buttons 3 and 4 for the third and fourth digits of your code, respectively.

For instance, if your code is 3016, you would enter it as follows:

1. Press button 1 three times to input the first digit (3).
2. Press button 2 ten times to input the second digit (0). Since the numbers on the buttons start from 1, pressing button 2 ten times counts as a 0.
3. Press button 3 once to input the third digit (1).
4. Press button 4 six times to input the fourth digit (6).

After you have entered all four digits of your code, you can submit it by pressing the ">" button. This should unlock your radio and restore its functionality.
