Gamma Radio Codes- Talk To Me....

Recommended Posts

My query is simples.

I've been offered a very cheap OE head unit and CD player in Gamma flavour, the tape deck I removed from was a Beta although from my understanding the only difference is the Gamma units allow four speakers to be used but the wiring/connections should be compatible...?

Here's where the plot thickens, the guy selling has no code and given it's going on a different car/ECU/Vin one will be required in order to make things work?

Is this an 'Off to VW' job? Is there any way to obtain the code in a more cost effective manner (Or ideally FOC)?

Thanks in advance for any help or sugestions on this chaps :)

PM me your vehicle chassis number and the radio serial number and I can get a code for you

You legend!

I haven't actually picked up the radio yet, will be doing so over the weekend.

Will I need the Vin/Chassis number from the car the radio came from too?

Nope, just your chassis and the radio serial number, they usually start VWZ......

How does that work? My brain is broken by this?

I don't understand what the issue is? They will have radio codes on record I'd imagine for standard equipment linked to vin number.

I'm pikey, if I see a gamma in a scrappy and the code is the handbook, I know I can sneak one out.

want a single din cd player to match it?

They're actually for my Mk4 Golf old chap.

I too love making a saving where I can (Even to the extent of pikey-ish tactics at times) I haven't crossed into scrap yard theft territory yet though :D

Pair of them for the princely sum of £10, and they look just like these...

scrappy theft just makes it more reasonable when you have to pay.

that's my moral justification of it.

today I am removing a double stitch leather interior and a full pd130 conversion on 112k for the sum of £150.

that feels like theft.

And the bonus of the single-din cd player is that you can add a 6 disc VW changer to it as well!
