Hi, got antibacterial gel into my radio somehow.. radio not working.. bought a used identical radio.. could not find serial number of radio starting VW....

you can get the serial number with vcds.
The new radio needs to be coded in by the main dealer but, there has been some talk recently of the radio having been cracked to remove the component protection but you would need the assistance of the few people that have the code to do this.
