I've looked through a few threads on this and didn't see my answers.
1) To get the code, you need the VIN and radio serial number. I'm guessing that it is the VIN of the last vehicle it was on and not necessarily the original vehicle. Who knows where an eBay unit has been.
2) If you need both the VIN and the serial number, how are people on eBay able to get the code with only the radio serial number?
3) Is there a way for me, by myself, to get the code for the unit in my vehicle now through some hidden menu, VCDS, OBDEleven, etc. or do I need to go to the dealer or eBay? After I swap out the unit, I'd like to sell it and the buyer would probably appreciate having it.
Thanks
Michael
