Title: Disconnecting battery / Radio code
Post by: Dre on January 11, 2020, 11:43:56 pm
I've purchased a new steering that I'll be fitting when I can spare some free time. I've had a look online at fitting it and note that the battery needs to be disconnected to stop the airbag going off.

What I wanted to know is will the radio ask me for a code once I reconnect the battery. My cars currently got a rcd310 installed but I think the original was a rcd500 as the owners book has the papers for this.

I've read online that you can get the code for the original radio from vw for free but the issue I'll have is that I no longer have the original and wouldn't need the code for it.

Anyone else changed their steering wheel and needed to enter in a code?
