Siemens VDO Radio Removal Guides

To locate your serial number, the first step is removing the Siemens VDO radio from the vehicle. Unfortunatly this is an essential step for online decoding, as we provide the original Siemens VDO stereo code for your radio based on the serial number, unlike Siemens VDO main dealers who use the vehicles registration number. Meaning our Siemens VDO radio codes are more accurate, especially if its a second hand unit or been replaced at any stage.

1. Simply insert the removal tools or equivalent into the two or four slots to in the corners of the Siemens VDO stereo as illustrated.
2. Most require you to push the tools away from the radio which causes the clips to push into the radio and away from the dashboard to release
3. The stereo should easily slide out without too much pressure.
