Enter your radio’s serial number for a free availability check. If it’s available, unlock it securely, right from home.
After a battery disconnect or power interruption, your radio asks for an unlock code. Skip the high dealer fee and the 2-7 day wait — our system works instantly, for all models from 1998–2019.
The exact method depends on the model, but these are the most common and quickest ways.
Try pressing and holding 1 + 6 or 2 + 6. Some units show the serial directly on screen.
If the on-screen method doesn’t work, the label on the radio unit is the most reliable. Serials may start with V, M, BP, TW.
Some cars include a radio code card in the glovebox or service booklet — check there first.
