any chance you have the serial number so we can keep an eye out..

Ive never had the unit out so didn't take it off there, could it be recorded anywhere else?

What a w*****!!! Absolute scum of the earth and I hope he dies a very slow, painful death.

I still think this reveals the weakness of VW's stereos i.e. you can nick them. The Lexus IS220 I had recently as a hire car had the stereo built into the dash. You couldn't nick it.

Yes, it's great that you can do all this retro fit stuff with them but security wise they're very vulnerable.

Only if it has been scanned by someone with VCDS although if it is factory fitted I would assume the dealer should be able to get it.

Low life scum. I guess they must shift these out of the country or stolen to order? Either way they deserve to be f**king shot.

You must be gutted, I know I would be. The radio is coded to the car, so useless unless they have the code.

According to the dealer all they need is the vin number of the car to be able to recode it. Looking on eBay it looks as though my nav is probs on it's way to lithuania.  :angry:

Feel for you mate, but like for like violence isn't the response.

£3k is a hefty bill to face, so I'd give your insurance situation some more thought.

I really am sorry about what's happened. Regardless of brand/model, no one wants to find this has happened to their car. Unfortunately we all have a bit more passion for our cars hence us buying GTI level models.

Gutted for you,did your car alarm go off?was it outside your house?I would place some razor blades behind your new radio so any unwelcome fingers get ripped,removing them of course when you sell the car.
