I’ve had no radio for years because I refused to pay £30 from the dealership. Got my serial number through a full service at no extra cost and for just £4.99 I now have a working radio again!

Thanks for getting my radio code! My request related to a 1999 Phillips unit in my BMW Z3. Even the main dealer could not find the code. The code was provided immediately and I would highly recommended your site to others!

  4. If available, you will be given the option to purchase your code along with delivery information

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:



More info about retrieving your lost Philips code.

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.

Hi Sam.Received code went in first time. Class!! Thank you. Regards. Derek


Thank you for your prompt and very efficient service. For ?5-I can't believe it. It worked! The only thing that didn't work on my model radio was pressing number 5 for the code to be accepted, but after 2 or 3 attempts I tried pressing 'select' and that worked at once. Many thanks. . Mrs J Hall
