  1. Turn the ignition on but don’t start the engine.
  2. On the left side of your infotainment console, you will see RadioMediaPhone, and Voice buttons. Locate the button between media and phone.
  3. Press this button for 10 seconds. The screen will blink off and then show the time and date before going blank.
  4. Still pressing the button, you will hear a “Click.”
  5. The message Welcome to Volkswagen” will appear then the system resets automatically.

If you attempt a stereo reset because of problems such as poor sound quality, your audio system might have a fault. Please contact your dealer if the problem persists.
