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.

Examples of serials include:
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.

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.
