Re: Radio Q's: New Owner

["DAVE JOHNSON" <cmscirocco@hotmail.com>]

The 87 16v  I bought from a dealer  had a radio that said "SAFE" when 
you turned it on, courtesy  of the security code problem. Apparently the 
previous owner took his fancy CD player with him and jammed the original 
back in.   I called one of the VW dealers in town and they said its no 
charge to reset the code.  Only problem seems to be that if they cant 
get the radio out with whatever special VW  tools they use you have to 
get the radio out yourself.  Just make sure you do the job right the 
first time.  

Now  about the Heidelberg question...  Did Blaupunkt make ALL of the 
factory radios in Sciroccos/VW's ?  Which leads me to ask what's the 
name of mine?  As a sidenote, a friend of mine recently bought a 
mid-80's Mazda 626 which came with a standard Blaupunkt, but tagged with 
the hideous name "Malibu".  I'd much rather have a "Heidelberg", or at 
least anything not named Malibu!
