U should give a 10 out of 5 option or something like that! I was really impressed with how quickly the code arrived as soon as the transaction went through! I just waited for my 30min radio count down and as soon as i punched it in, the sound came to life. It was for a Ford Fiesta 2005 model! Well done guys, keep it that way!

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:


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...

Brilliant service! My radio is in an ex-ambulance that had a flat battery,so no chance of ever getting any paperwork with the radio code on it. It took 20 minutes to dig out the radio, find the serial number and security number, enter it on your clear and informative website and bingo, the code worked first time. Many thanks! . DB
