rickyd1992 Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) As for some reason aftermarket stereo to work in my car I'm looking buying a Seat CD player from an Ibiza ('Alana Grundig' I believe), I've messaged on of the guys selling one one eBay and he doesn't have the code for the stereo (most on eBay don't :/ ) is there a way I can get this code ?? Is it just a case of visiting a VAG garage and they'll tell me ? Edited July 31, 2012 by rickyd1992 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcusgrant Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 you have to buy a radio with a code, you cant just walk into seat with a radio and get a code as that makes the point of having a code pointless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete91 Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 My mate went in and said he just bought a radio and it asked for the code and they gave it to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_M Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 You can walk into a dealer and get the code for free. You need the vin of the stereo and the reg of the car it came out of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James827 Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 must depend on dealer. Mine wouldn't code mine for me unless the vehicle it came out of was there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_M Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 All codes are held Ian central database they have and it even states on the code card that you can retrieve the code for free, but as you say some dealers are a pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told them I'd rather buy a new stereo than pay for them to give me what is rightfully mine... So I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
