RCD 310 Code?

**saabby** · 21-07-2011, 06:08 PM

Just realized the dealer did not give me a code for the RCD 310. But wondering if there is one. Could someone please confirm one way or the other? Thanks.

Radio code? Definilty. Just ask the dealer, they should be able to give it to you.

If you're keeping the same radio then you won't need a radio code. You can pull it out and reinstall it as many times as you want to as long as it's the same car.

Explains why when the battery went flat in the Golf, it didn't ask for a code after it was fixed...

Last week I installed the 9W7 with the RCD510. Installation went well until I powered up the RCD510 and it asked me for the security code. The code was no where to be found in the documentation so called dealer who said I would have to bring the car in and incur a probable fee for them to recover the code (I guess they don't keep it on file).

Anyway all I had to do was start the car and all was working again + bluetooth menu

Schibs. Are you saying that after you put in the recovered code everything worked or was it just by starting the car?

Integrally because I was told that the dealerships hang onto the little plastic key with the code so the number is stored within a central hub for all dealerships to see, better security and all that....
