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...

WOW fantastic service. I own a garage so rang the dealer today, the code given was not correct. I was told it must of had a different radio fitted. Spoke with My Auto Spark, he told me to use this site. Correct first time thanks. After driving 768 miles from France with NO music. Meurig Davies


Hi, Just to let you know that the code number worked for my Renault Megane. I'm impressed with the way the site is presented and it all went perfectly. With some trepidation I pressed the last button to enter the code and the radio sprang into life. I was so pleased. My thanks again - well done. Yours truly Allan . Allan Wright


Sam Many many thanks, unbeatable, cheers for all your help, will recommend you and hope to deal with you again, absolute star. Andy


Excellent, fantastic. My wife has had some work done on the car and as a result the stereo no longer worked and asked for a code. Trawling the internet I found your site and put in the required info, I didn't think think that it was going to work but it did. Thank you. Asquith Gibbes


Hi Sam. Finally got round to inputting the code for my radio. Works a treat. Many thanks for your help. Dealer (stealer) wanted 50 pounds + my time off to do this = rip off. Thanks again. Iain Mcphee
