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 for the code you sent yesterday. I have been without music for a while as the previous owner did not pass on the code. Nissan main dealer could not help as 'it was too old'. The purchased code worked immediately. Excellent service and reasonable rates from you!. Alan Thomas


Many thanks for the prompt reply to my request for my code. Kind regards. Clive Evans


Cheers for code, music again. thanks for response. . Andy Haynes


I can highly recommend this site. I did this for an elderly relative who has gone months in a car with no radio and was quoted exorbitant fees by a dealer, was easy to sort for her and she is over the moon that she now has music in the car. Many thanks. Valerie Found
