Philips Serial Number's

Philips 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 Philips radio has been removed from the vehicle.

Examples of serials include:

By using our online Philips radio decoding service, you not only save yourself money, but also time and the additional hassle involved. Most vehicle main dealers will require you to book an appointment and take the car and paperwork (v5 logbook) into them before they apply for the radio code.   Once they do apply for the code, 9/10 times it will be based on the vehicle registration or VIN number of the car itself, which is fine if you have owned the car from new. However, receiving the radio code days later only to find that it did not work is yet another inconvenience.

There are a number of reasons why a radio code based on the vehicle registration or vin number may not work, including:


At Radio-Code, we don't provide radio codes based on the car, instead we provide the code based on the individual and unique serial number of the car radio, regardless of what it was fitted to originally.  Our radio codes have proven to be more accurate than main dealer's because of this.



What our customers have to say...

thank you the code was correct I can now use it....once again many thanks.. John Pickourne


Absolutely fantastic service and even despite an error on my part they were extremely quick to deal with my problem - even over the Christmas and New Year break. 1st class and personal service that I will recommend to my friends and colleagues, and excellent value for money. Thanks for all your help SWS.. Paul O'Neill


Thank you guys, My original Ford 4600 radio from my Ford Mondeo Guia is back working since I had to change battery. Ford asked $90,00 US dollars to retrieve the code which wasn't a good deal, for this price I'd buy a new one, but for less than 10% of this price Radio-Code.co.uk did the job. Thanks! . Erik Vianna


Many thanks for an excellent service, code sent in seconds and radio working immediately, well worth the money considering what ford want to charge for the same service!. Phil Roddam


Just to say big thanks - wasn't sure if this was going to work but I am very pleased to say no trouble at all. And I have a much happier partner who was driving 80 miles a day without music since the stereo locked! cheers. Lynne Hoy
