While flicking though the manual for the radio I noticed the section on the VID field.

 

Well it's a 16 character memory to hold your VIN so that the radio's tied to the car.

 

Why anyone might want to nick the radio is beyond my comprehension! :o

 

So started entering the VIN and, guess what... I ran out of space to hold the full VIN - there's 17 characters stamped onto the car, yet only 16 digits space in the radio... how silly.

 

I guess it's because Ford-built cars have 16 characters VINs but as the Gal is really a VW, then 17 is the norm for them?

 

Ah well...
