BMW car radios will normally contain a 14 digit serial number which can be found either printed on a label or engraved on the side of the unit.

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.
