RNS510 security code issues
« on: May 26, 2017, 05:15:15 pm »
Purchased a RNS510, but have been supplied with the incorrect code. So questions are:

1)Can the code be changed from what it leaves the factory with?
2)What happens after the final attempt is made? Does it permanently lock?

3 attempts and then it locks you out for an hour i believe.

I recently used https://www.radiocodes.co.uk/vw-radio-codes and within 2 hours they had sent me the correct code for the unit.

Could you get the seller to refund the £16.99?

Ok, had read about the hour but wanted to make sure before being left with a brick.

Just googling came across the idea of paying for the code, will see what the seller recommends.

If it's an oem unit don't the stealers give you the code FOC as I had to give them the serial number on the unit or pay £35 for it if they have to remove the unit :signLOL:

It was a retrofit to the previous car so not sure if they would be able to assist or not. Also last time I spoke to them, have a good relationship with them as in there most weeks. The protocol now is that they have to see the car as a mate was breaking his s3 and couldn't get the code from the dealership

I've bought codes from ebay for a tenner and had no issues. Just give them the serial number and you have the code emailed to you within 24 hours

Weird, I've bought 3 RNS-510, sold the RNS-510 rev A that came with my Ed. 30 and all needed a code to work for the 1st time in a different car than where the radio came fitted originally. I didn't know that those radios had the possibility to erase the security code. I know the code can be changed...
