Needed the unlock code for a 1999 BMW car stereo, they provided it immediately when I entered the serial number. Easy and at £8.99 not bad value.

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

Once you receive the code, you can use our Free Radio Code Entry Help section to assist you with entering the code.



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.



What our customers have to say...

I bought a second hand Fiesta and we couldnt get the code anywhere. I tried this site and I admit I was dubious the code was instant and it worked! No more silent car journeys for me! Thanks again, will recommend. Emma Grant


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


Huge thank you, I cant tell you how awful it has been not having music as I drive. Your service is so easy to use and very cheap in comparison to the ford dealers. Thanks again, I am beyond delighted to have music in my car again. Maxine Gardiner


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


Hi, Many thanks for your help it worked a treat. Gordon Wyett
