Was a bit dubious as to whether this was going to be a waste of time but thought 'it's much cheaper than going to a garage' so took the plunge...and so glad I did! Works in moments and was spot on.

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...

Many thanks for my radio code excellent service. Colin Coates


Awesome - thanks so much. Great guidance and simple straightforward payment mechanism - highly recommended!. Wayne Neale


I just wanted to say thanks for providing this awesome service. I just bought a 2002 Land Rover and the battery was dead, and the dealer didn't know the code, and no 'code cards' were in the owners manual. Land Rover wanted to charge me $110 dollars to retrieve the code, and wanted to keep my car for an hour. You guys helped me solve this problem at a fraction of their cost and in just 5 minutes! Thanks again! . Philip Walker
