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...

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

I am stunned. This actually worked! Not only did it work but I also managed to make some DIN tools out of coat hangars and removed the radio without destroying it. I am very proud of myself - usually I am a complete tool when it comes to these things. Thanks!. Stuart Smith
