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

Examples of serials include:



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...

I have just brought a radio code from you and followed the online instructions which I found very helpfull and usefull as never done this before so the instructions where clear and step by step. Got the code for my radio in secs of entering the serial number which was great,inputted the code to the radio and straight away it worked. Tested everything on the radio and everything works fine. All I can say is a BIG THANK YOU.. Philip Tunnadine


This is how all web sites should be, simple and fast. I had my radio working within minutes of your email service returning the code, well done and keep up the good work.. Alex Johnson - Berwickshire


For The Attention of Mr S Basson I would like to thank you very much for sending me the correct radio code, my son has got the radio playing for me, it only took him a few seconds. Thanking You. Catherine Allan


Thank you for your expedient service. We used the instructions as given on your website for removing the radio and obtained the serial number that way without having to disconnect the wires. To think we went several months without the use of the radio expecting to be a costly business seems quite funny now. This was cheap and easy. Thanks again!. M Chenery


Thank you for the radio code. First class service. One minute daughter rather disappointed in her 'new' car - next all smiles now it has a radio. Husband also delighted that instructions were clear and worked first time. Rae Coton
