Car radio locked?
We deliver your code.

A locked car radio is a common problem after replacing or disconnecting the battery. Almost all car brands — from Renault and Volkswagen to Ford and Peugeot — have a built-in anti-theft system that blocks the radio whenever the power supply is interrupted. To reactivate the radio you need a unique unlock code, also known as a radio code, PIN code, or security code.

At RadioCodeLookup.com you can retrieve this code quickly and securely using the serial number of your car radio. This serial number is usually found on a sticker on the side or back of the radio unit, or via a combination of buttons on the display. On our brand pages you will find a clear explanation per car brand of where to find the serial number.

When do you need a radio code?

• After replacing the battery (battery change)
• After a power interruption due to a flat battery or fault
• After work on the car's electrics at a garage
• When buying a second-hand car where the code was not included
• After resetting the infotainment system

Why not go to the dealer?

The dealer can look up your radio code, but often charges £50 to £200 for this. You also need to make an appointment, sometimes bring your car, and may wait days to weeks. Via RadioCodeLookup.com you receive the same official code directly after payment, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — for a fraction of the dealer price.
