Common questions about car radio codes
Everything you need to know before buying.
- Why does my car radio ask for a code after a battery change?
- Car radios have a built-in anti-theft system that triggers when power is lost. When the battery is disconnected or goes flat, the radio locks and requires a unique PIN to reactivate. The PIN is tied to your radio's serial number.
- How much does a car radio code cost?
- £4.99, flat rate. Every make and model we support is the same price. No hidden fees, no upsells.
- Can I get a car radio code for free?
- Some manufacturers offer free codes if you can prove ownership, but you'll need to visit a dealer with your V5C and photo ID, and it can take days. Our service gives you the code in under two minutes, 24 hours a day, for £4.99.
- What happens if I enter the wrong radio code too many times?
- Most radios allow 3–10 incorrect attempts before locking permanently. Don't guess. Enter your serial here first so we can confirm we have the correct code before you try anything.
- How do I enter the radio code once I have it?
- Turn the ignition on so the radio display is active (it will show "CODE" or similar). Use the preset buttons (usually 1–4 or 1–6) to enter each digit. Press and hold the last button, or press a separate confirm button, to submit. Exact steps vary by make, so check your vehicle handbook if unsure.
- What if the code doesn't work?
- We offer a 100% money back guarantee. If the code we provide doesn't unlock your radio, email us and we'll refund you in full. No forms, no waiting, no questions asked.
- How do I find my car radio serial number?
- It depends on your radio. Many show the serial on the display when you turn the ignition on with the radio locked, though some (like the Ford 6000 CD) only show it after you hold buttons 1 and 6. Others keep it on a label and the unit has to come out. Pick your make on our brands page for step-by-step help for your exact radio.
- How quickly will I receive my radio code?
- Most codes are delivered instantly on screen after payment. We also email the code immediately so you always have a backup.
- Which car radio brands do you support?
- We support Ford, Renault and Dacia, VW, Audi, SEAT and Skoda, Vauxhall and Opel, BMW, Nissan, Toyota and Lexus, Peugeot and Citroën, Jaguar and Land Rover, and many more. Over 50 makes in total. See the full list on our brands page.
