Hello Campers.
When we first purchased out little bundle of joy.. The radio fuse was blown. So we replaced it. Now the radio and tape deck works---sorta.
The round button unit with the: Tape/CD/AM/FM. The "Scan" works.
That's it.
The other push buttons? You can press them as hard as possible. They do not appear to move?!? It's like someone hit the buttons with crazy glue.
Now I picked up another (Yeah, I'm cheap) another used radio that matches ours from the pick/pull yard. It's buttons work just dandy. So I would like to remove our radio (we have the code thankfully for OURS) And I would like to remove the face plate button unit as a set. I know this is possible (I removed the plate and inspected it on our spare) My question? Is the code part stored in the face plate--or deeper in the radio?
I did grab the VIN number off the scrap beetle. So if I can corral the stealership they should be able to figure out the code using the vin and ID for the radio. (Yeah, good luck on that one. I called our local dealership and got the deer in the headlights when I asked last time.)
So I'm just wondering after this LONG post....does one need to use the 'new' radio code when swapping the face plate?
