2008 VW Tiguan - Battery died, no radio code

[Roundozo]

Hi all,

The Mrs's Tiguan had a completely dead battery. This was changed over but now the radio has reset and needs a code to get it back on. Now I don’t remember her getting a log book (was bought cheaply second-hand) and apparently the code is stored in here. Doh!

Is there any way to get it working again without going to the stealers? Is there a bog standard code of 0000 or 1234 that was widely used?

Also, randomly, she said there is now a beeping when indicating, like you have a trailer on. Would this be due to the reset? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is the head unit retro-fitted? Normally you don't need the code if it's the unit fitted at the factory as it's paired through CanBus, hence why you don't get a code these days.

The radio shouldn't ask for a code if it recognises it's still in the same car
