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.

Dear Lois Many thanks for the Radio Code below that you sent me. I installed it today and it works perfectly. Excellent service and quick too.. Donald High


Just a quick note to thank you for your amazing service. I have been without a radio for some 18 months due to the extortionate sum required by Peugeot for the same service. The code arrived within seconds after payment and worked first time. I cannot praise your company highly enough. Many thanks.. Richard Boyd
