Volkswagen Polo radio code
A Volkswagen Polo radio code is not free anywhere: it only exists in VW's database, for the RCD, Gamma and Beta units alike. FreeCarRadioCodes buys it in for $14.99 and emails it within 24 hours, usually much sooner.

Older Polos have the Gamma or Beta unit, and later ones the RCD 200, RCD 300, RCD 310 or RCD 510. All of them show SAFE when locked and carry a VWZ serial on the label on the casing. The radio comes out with release keys or flat tools in the slots either side. Copy the whole VWZ line, letters and all.

Where the serial is
The serial is on a sticker on the radio's metal casing, so the unit has to come out of the dash. Most VW radios slide out with release keys, or a pair of flat tools pushed into the slots either side of the fascia. The sticker lists the part number and then the serial, which starts VWZ. Copy it exactly, letters included. This applies to the RCD 200, 300, 310 and 500, the RNS 310 and 510, and the older Delta, Gamma and Beta units.
How to enter the code
- 1Switch the radio on. The screen shows SAFE, then 1000 after a few seconds. If it stays on SAFE, hold the two right-hand buttons until 1000 appears.
- 2Set each digit with preset buttons 1 to 4. Button 1 changes the first digit, 2 the second, and so on.
- 3When the four digits match your code, hold the same two right-hand buttons again until SAFE flashes and the radio plays.
- 4Two wrong tries and SAFE stays on the screen. Leave the radio switched on for an hour and it lets you try twice more.
