i have a 2000 vw jetta that had an aftermarket radio in it, i had the aftermarket unit pulled out and reinstalled the origional unit back in and now i have to enter a code anytime i want to listen to the radio. can an one tell me how to fix this problem?

 

wow i wrote thinking even the smallest help would be great but no help at all!

 

Once you put in your code that should be located in your owners book you should not need to put it in again unless you pull out your radio or remove the battery,if you put in the wrong code three times your radio will not let you try again for I believe 12 hours.
I hope I helped

 

thank you for the reply i really appraciate it.

thats what i thought but the problem is i have to enter the code every time i restart the car if i want to listen to the radio. i had it reinstalled at the dealership thinking they would know what they were doing but i am starting to have less and less confidance in them. i thought perhaps they forgot to plug in an alternate power source but im just guessing. any help would be much appraciated

 

Why was the radio removed in the first place? maybe the radio is bad .

 

the radio was removed because it is only am/fm no cd, it was removed by best buy when i purchased a cd player. i remember them saying somthing about vw's have a wire that has to be rerouted or somthing so it wouldnt blow out a obd2 reader i thought that might be my problem but not sure?
