B5 preface radio

[cavekidd]

Hey guys I pulled a radio at a pick n pull today and I was wondering if it would need a code once I put it in my b5. If so, how can I get that code?

If you pulled it from a '98.5 it doesn't need a code. Any other car, grab the vin number off the car you took it out of, write down the serial no on the back of the radio and call Audi of America, they usually give you the code when you have the vin and serial number.

Shit.
That's exactly what I have. A 98.5
I pulled it off an A6 without taking down the VIN.. lol good luck to me finding that car amongst a junkyard lmao
