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...

A quick e-mail to thank you for such a great service. Great price and so quick! Popped the code in and all's well. My daughter can now listed to what she calls music, and I can sit back, happy in the knowledge that Vauxhall didn't get the £40 they wanted to provide the same code. Great job..... . M. Platt

Just wanted to say a big thanks for a great service. Getting my code on the website was really easy and I could not believe I could get it so quick. The dealer wanted to charge me £50 for unlocking my radio. Well done to all . Stephen McGrath
