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

Examples of serials include:

Location of Serial No. on Siemens VDO 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 Siemens VDO radio fitted to the car. Instead, take the serial number from either a label or an engraving on the top or side of your Siemens VDO stereo, to ensure the supplied Siemens VDO radio code is accurate.

By using our online Siemens VDO radio decoding service, you not only save yourself money, but also time and the additional hassle involved. Most vehicle main dealers will require you to book an appointment and take the car and paperwork (v5 logbook) into them before they apply for your radio code. Once they do apply for the code, 9/10 times it will be based on the vehicle registration or VIN number of the car itself, which is fine if you have owned your car from new. However, receiving the radio code days later only to find that it did not work is yet another inconvenience.

There are a number of reasons why a radio code based on your vehicle registration or vin number may not work, including:

The unit 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 radio or cd player at time of sale on request.

At Radio-Code, we don't provide radio codes based on the car, instead we provide the code based on the individual and unique serial number of your car radio, regardless of what it was fitted to originally. Our radio codes have proven to be more accurate than main dealer's because of this.
