These serials are only visible once the BMW radio has been removed from the vehicle.

Location of Serial No. on BMW Stereos

do not take the serial from a user guide Never take the serial number from any printed paperwork or user guides, since this may not match the actual BMW radio fitted to the car. Instead, take the serial number from either a label or an engraving on the top or side of your BMW stereo, to ensure the supplied BMW radio code is accurate.

Further information on decoding your BMW car radio.

Using our BMW stereo decoding system, you are not only saving money, but also time and the hassle which is involved. Most vehicle main dealers require you to book in your vehicle and take the car and proof of ownership along before they apply for the radio code.
Usually the code will be based on your vehicle registration or Chassis number which can mean you are not getting the code for the current unit fitted to the car, especially if the radio has been replaced at any stage in its lifetime.

There are a number of reasons why a radio code based on the vehicles chassis number or registration may not work, these include:

The radio was changed under manufacturer warranty.
The car radio was changed for an improved model, i.e. tape to CD player.
A used car dealer changed the head unit at time of sale on request.

At Radio-Code, we provide stereo codes based on the unique serial number of the car radio, regardless of what it was fitted to originally. Our stereo codes have proven to be more accurate than main dealer's because of this.

What our customers have to say...

Thanks for you help. Had no radio since before Christmas due to battery change. Your efficient service was outstanding. having the radio in the car has made driving a pleasure once again. Thanks again would definitely recommend you to others. . Diane Eagleton

I can't recommend you enough. I tested you with a tough one and you came up trumps. Well pleased.. Michael J Dix

hi just quick thank you note,the code you supplied worked perfectly.the radio was sold as having a code,but was given as 1707 as you know codes only contain numbers 1-6 so there is no way of inputting a 0 or 7. also the radio was on an error 6 message,so I only had one entry attempt available. if I got it wrong the unit would lock up.best regards. John Mckean

Many thanks, the code works. Shame on Vauxhall for being awkward and difficult to deal with! . M Shamsi
