HOW TO FIND YOUR SERIAL NUMBER The serial is NOT the VIN number. You must remove the radio to see the label: Remove the trim panel around the radio gently. Unscrew the 4 mounting screws. Pull the radio out to find the sticker or engraving. Look for a 14-character code starting with VWZ (VW), AUZ (Audi), SKZ (Skoda), or SEZ (Seat).
