Got my radio code in seconds after giving my serial number

James Smith

Having replaced the battery on my Focus, them found that there was no radio code in any of the original sales documentation. Ford wanted £20 to get the code, which considering they had not supplied in the first place is a cheek. Once I found the serial no. then went on line to ASW and typed in the no. got a reply within a few seconds. Went out to the car inserted the code and bingo. Excellent service and for a quarter of the price. Well done. Thanks

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 very much - your website is really useful and helped me sort out getting the code for my car. The price is really good too, main dealer was going to charge 4 times that amount.Also all the helpful hints were great. Glad I found your website. Richard

Just a note to say I was very pleased with the service and my cd/radio is now working fine. Clive Swindell

Dear Steve,Thank you so much, I've just been out to put it in and it worked!. Andrea Davies

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.
