Ok, my 2006 Cayman came without a stereo in it. I found a nice CDR24 . After I purchased It the local dealer says I need the VIN of the car it came out of so they can get the code to activate it. Of course I have no way of getting that VIN. Am I screwed? Thanks, T

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I swapped out my CDR24 for a PCM2.1 and didn't need any codes or vin numbers.
Just went with a double DIN Kenwood aftermarket.
Same thing, put in the Kenwood with Nav, that way you get you Bluetooth etc.
Just guessing but wouldn't the radio have a serial number on it that they could cross reference? Or, maybe the place you got it from has some information that would help in finding the answer.
