How to get your code

  1. Find the serial number. It is on the label on the radio casing, sometimes on the display or the code card. See How it works.
  2. Send the request. Enter brand, serial and email, accept the terms and confirm you own the vehicle.
  3. Code by email. Our team handles every request. Timing varies by brand and unit.

Check your documents first

Before you send a request, have a look in the glovebox. Many cars came with a radio code card, a radio pass or, for Opel, the Car Pass. The code may also be written in the service book. If you find it there, you are done in a minute.

Brands you can ask about

Which units we can process is checked on every request.

Why free?

We charge nothing for the code. No hidden fees, no subscription. We only need an email address to send it to you.

Serial number, not part number

Labels often carry several numbers. On VW units the part number starts with digits such as 1K0 or 5K0, the serial with VWZ. We need the serial. Watch for 0 and O, and 8 and B, when you type it.

Owners only

We help owners use their own radio again. Every request includes your confirmation that you own the vehicle or act with the owner's consent. If there is doubt about where a unit came from, we do not process the request.
