SUMMARY

---

This does not work in place of every model. Just because it looks the same or similar does not mean it will work for you. Please follow our advice and check your part number BEFORE ordering. Seriously!!

This is a VERY hard-to-find VW Beetle am/fm/CD Monsoon radio.  It does not have the Satellite button, so it is not satellite capable.  It does play standard audio format CDs and CDRs, as well as MP3 format CDRs. You MUST have the Monsoon system to use this!  You MUST match your part number too! Returns are not accepted so please heed our warning.

It is manufactured for Volkswagen by Delco.  It is Delco part number 12244713 or 28007235.  It is VW part number 1C0035196M.  They had various versions of this radio, depending on the options your vehicle had.  If yours has a different letter at the end (other than M), there is probably something different about it.  It may not be a major difference but it is a difference.  Please confirm this is the one you need by matching it to your radio or asking your VW dealer because returns are not accepted.

There is a factory serial number and code sticker sheet attached to the radio. Code entry procedures appear below. You may have to enlist the help of your VW dealer if you misplace it or experience problems.

There are no returns on this item. If you do not like 'No Returns' listings, please do not purchase this item.

It was a factory option in the following vehicles, but that doesn't mean it works for you just because your vehicle is listed.  Make sure you have the Monsoon system and your part number matches because returns are not accepted.

** The early 2004 Beetles had a different wiring configuration and this does not work in them.  If you have a 2004, the last 6 digits of your VIN must be 410661 or higher in order for it to be compatible in your vehicle.

This radio is in nice condition.  It is new.  The face has a weird texture to it that scratches very easily and they have been handled a few times.  As a result, these may have very minor blemishes on them.  But they are new and have never been used.  Overall a very nice radio.

We are including a 90 day warranty* on this unit.

THEFT CODE ENTRY PROCEDURES

---

Please do NOT follow instructions you find elsewhere. Some VW radios (especially older ones) use a different procedure that will cause your radio to lock temporarily, if used. 

Locate the 4-digit security code for your radio. (New or remanufactured VW radios purchased from ReplacementRadios often include the code on a sticker affixed to the top of the radio.) If you don't have it, you will need to obtain it from a VW dealer. They can look it up if you provide your VIN and the serial number from the radio. (It looks kind of like VIN too.) Some dealers charge for this service, while others do not.

After you install your radio and reconnect the battery, your radio will display SAFE momentarily, then it will usually change to display the number 1000. Once you see this, follow the procedures below:

If you enter the incorrect code, a number will appear next to the word SAFE. If the wrong code is entered twice, the radio will display SAFE 2 and will be temporarily locked. If this happens you need to leave the radio on continuously for approximately one hour so it will reset back to regular SAFE mode. You do not need to have the engine running but the radio must be powered on and showing the SAFE 2 message the whole time. Once 1000 is displayed on the screen again, you can enter the code using the procedures above. (It may display SAFE instead, which usually just requires you to turn the key off for a few seconds, then back on, for it to switch to 1000 on the display.)

We are NOT a salvage yard.  We are NOT affiliated with a salvage yard.  We don't have the typical auto parts mentality.  We specialize in one thing:  factory audio/video.  We are very picky and strive to provide radios that we would be proud to have in our own vehicles.  When you buy a radio from us, you are getting a unit that is guaranteed to work.  Occasionally problems arise with electronics.  However, please know that we never knowingly send out a radio with problems.  It is not in our best interest to send out defective units because we waste time and money replacing them under our warranty.  We aim to keep our returns low and our customer satisfaction high.  Please give us a chance to add you to our long list of satisfied customers.
