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.

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...

Thank you so much for the simple yet effective solution to days of silence!! Your code and instructions worked perfectly and now the whole family can sing along with DJ P Diddy Hammer etc! And all for a fiver....brilliant!!. Graham Orange


Hello Radio Code Thank you so much for my code, it worked first time and I am a very happy girl :-) Fantastic service, fast very reasonable cost, best on the net. I can't believe that manufacturers want to charge so much, its really outrageous. Shall certainly recommend you to anyone who has the same problem. Thanks once again. Carmel Donnelly


Just wanted to say a quick thank you! My parents car unexpectedly needed a new battery which left them with the radio needing a code that they didn't have! So having driven 250 miles to visit me it was superb to be able to get their unlock code from your site before they left to drive home! Within moments it was all working again! So I thank you, as does my mum and I'm certain Dad does too! Brilliant . Marcus Hann


Just a line to say great site, easy to use, and have saved a tidy sum and inconvenience by not having to take it to a garage.. Steve


Really pleased with your service, it saved me a lot of money and hassle. You gave me spot on instructions, even when I thought "How do I enter the number 8 when I've only got six numbers?" you answered my question before I needed to ask it, so thanks again. I will definitely recommend you to anybody who needs a code. Many thanks. Karl Roberts
