do not take the serial from a user guide Never take the serial number from any printed paperwork or user guides, since this may not match the actual Sony radio fitted to the car. Instead, take the serial number from either a label or an engraving on the top or side of your Sony stereo, to ensure the supplied Sony radio code is accurate.

More info about retrieving your lost Sony code.

By using our online Sony 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 your 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 stereo code based on the vehicle registration or vin number may not work, including:

The unit was changed under manufacturer warranty.
The car stereo was changed for an improved model, i.e. tape to CD player.
A used car dealer changed the radio or cd player at time of sale on request.

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.

WOW fantastic service. I own a garage so rang the dealer today, the code given was not correct. I was told it must of had a different radio fitted. Spoke with My Auto Spark, he told me to use this site. Correct first time thanks. After driving 768 miles from France with NO music. Meurig Davies

Hi Guysapologies if this is in the wrong section, I was very very sceptical at first but thought hey its through Paypal, if it dont work then I will eventually get my money back, I was totally amazed that it worked but it did, I paid my fee and within seconds of paying it the code was on the screen I was still thinking that it would not work but I put the code in the stereo and that was it the radio channels came on, I was very very very impressed I could not believe it, once again many many thanks I thought that the radio was a gonner you have made me very happy, cheers. brian warburton
