What are PR codes?

PR codes (Primärrückmeldung) are the Volkswagen Group's factory option codes. Every Volkswagen, Audi, Škoda, SEAT and CUPRA is built to a list of them — each short code standing for one fitted option, stored against the car's VIN.

One system, every VW Group brand

Because the brands share a parts system, the same PR-code logic decodes them all. See the dedicated pages for Volkswagen, Audi, Škoda and SEAT.
