Radio Code & Decoding Service

VW Alpha IV
Philips DC587/71

As originally fitted to the :

VW Golf III


This radio only has a two channel output and is not capable of running rear speakers

Please note that code entry is only possible with the ignition switched on, when "SAFE" is shown in the display. If the display continually shows "SAFE" and a number then the unit may be codelocked and will need to be left switched on up for up to two hours to reset before another code entry attempt is possible. If it does not reset after this time, then all of your code entry attempts may have been used up, and the unit will need to be sent to us to be decoded and reset.

If you have lost your radio code, we can decode and reset this radio, but you will need to send the unit to our workshop for this work to be carried out. Approx turnaround time is 48 hours from receipt to dispatch.

Removal of the radio is fairly straightforward. To remove the Radio, simply insert the removal tools into the two vertical slots, one to the left of the "AF" button and one to the right of the "TA" button, push in until a click is felt, and then withdraw the radio. The leads can then be unplugged.
