Radio not working after Touran clocks

Post by gooselogan »

This afternoon I changed my clocks to some Touran highline clocks, being some 972 version I use vag commander to do the swap.

Everything seems to be working except for the radio. It's now asking for a code but won't accept the code I've got. (I assume it's the right one)

Could it likely be something I've done wrong with the change over and easy to rectify?

It's more likely your code is wrong.
If you're lucky the code will be the same as it left the factory with and you can get the code from eBay. Failing that it's a job for a stereo specialist to read your stereo EEPROM and write a new code.

Thanks Doc. I just checked this morning the code with the serial number on the card and of course it's different to the radio that's in the van. Typical, time to get a new code!

Radio is now working again after getting a code from eBay, nice and quick so happy with that.

However the radio doesn't show up of the mfd, I can only switch between 1 & 2 for mpg, trip etc.

Is more coding needed?

Sounds like you are using a trip stalk?
If so, press and hold the ^ button to get to a menu for MFD/Radio/Settings etc.

Yep I am using a trip stalk.

Tried holding the up button and nothing happens, stays on the same screen.
