At first I was abit worried about payment methods and the fraud that's happening but then I decided to take a chance and within few hours I received my code, the pricing is excellent compared to a normal VW branch.

The radio on my vw golf 5 failed

The radio on my vw golf 5 failed, so I bought a used one from a friend. He did not have the code, so I searched the web and I found these guys. I am very happy with their services. The price was decent, I got the code in a few hours, everything was clear and simple. I recommend!

Prompt Service

After replacing my battery, my radio stopped working and was in "safe" mode. I didn't have the code to unlock it. I called VW and they wanted the serial number and VIN number. I had to buy special tools to pull the radio out to get the serial number. I called them back and they wanted to charge me for the code. Out of principle (since I own the radio) I decided to try Vwcodes. They provided the correct unlock code within a couple of hours and cheaper than VW wanted to charge me. I hope I don't need their service again but I highly recommend them to those experiencing this unnecessary inconvenience.

Reluctant at first

Reluctant at first, but happy in the end! Radio Code came in my email after about 10 hours and worked perfectly on my 2011 Jetta SportWagen TDI. I would highly recommend these guys as a safe alternative to any VW dealer service when it comes to recovering a radio code!

Excellent Transaction

Great Alternative to Dealer only access

We are a VW/AUDI repair garage and This was the easiest and most cost effective way to retrieve the radio lock code after purchasing a used radio that didn’t come with the code. Wish I had of known about this service years ago. Will surely be using this on a regular basis for all our customers.

After being told by the VW dealer that it would cost $100 plus to retrieve the radio code for my 2006 Beetle, it was a relief to find this service online. Took a couple of hours for Vwcodes to send the 4-digit code that worked perfectly. Thanks!

Though Skeptical- It works

I was more than skeptical. We bought a used unit on Ebay without any knowledge of a security code. A search for codes found VWcodes. The price seemed worth the cost. The code was sent to my email address the next morning and BINGO!!! Simple fast and less than any dealer wanted.

Great service, worked like a charm

Radio screen on my Volkswagen failed and was a 1000$ to replace so I bought one on Ebay for cheap that didn't have the security code. Dealer wanted 80$ to try and obtain said code and wouldn't guarantee they could do it. I found many web sites out that seemed like a scam, where you would have to subscribe to some third party site and give credit card info to get a code. This place is legit, it took a little longer than two hours to get it, but when I inquired I received a response quickly from a real person and radio is unlocked. Cheap and I don't have to drive to the dealer to do something so simple as to find a serial number on a radio and punch 4 digits.

I bought the tools from Amazon to remove the radio and have my radio serial number and sent my info to this site. Took a couple of hours and received my code! My radio works now!! I saved a visit to the dealership and even with the purchase of the tools and code, I saved money compared to what the dealership was charging me!

Radio in safe mode after 2 missed attempts

Radio was locked after a dead battery, inadvertently got it stuck in Safe mode after 2 missed attempts, I thought I had the right code, I didn’t. This worked out great. Very easy to use, filled out the form, hit submit, waited just a few minutes, Got the email, entered the code and presto, the radio was right back to normal.

These people are awesome!

Wow! Don't even sweat it anymore! You're at the right website! These people are not scamming you! They followed thru with a code for my radio from ebay for my Voltswagon Passat in less than 2 hours! Paid the $12.99 and had faith and BAMM! There's my code!! Checked my bank, they only took out the $12.99 as promised. The code worked immediately. Trust these people! Trust me!
