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

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...

Dear Miss Spencer, Thanks so much for sending me the code for the radio. It worked!!! and after trying so many other solutions I had given up hope. The children think you are an angel - they really missed their music. Many thanks indeed. Best wishes Dr Rhian Warrack . Dr Rhian Warrack

THANK YOU FOR YOUR QUICK RESPONSE TO MY RADIO CODE PROBLEM IT IS NOW SORTED ITS GREAT TO KNOW THAT THE SUPPORT IS THERE WHEN IT GOES WRONG ! I SHALL IN FUTURE SOURCE ALL MY CODE THROUGH YOURSELVES MANY THANKS MIKE. Mike Weeks


Just a quick word to thank you for your excellent service. 10 minutes job done.Price very reasonable. P King


Thank you VERY much. My car had to have its battery replaced at the last service, and despite making sure I had all the original paperwork which included the radio code, it just didn't work. It seems the previous owner to me had replaced his radio and not noted the new code. I travel from Fife to Glasgow for work on a regular basis, and the 2 hour journey with rush hour jams was becoming excruciating without and music to listen to -- or traffic reports to help me avoid the bad areas. Thanks once again for this valuable service. I now have music in my car! .
