Ordering

How does it work?

Type your radio serial number. We tell you which radio it is and whether we can do it — free. Pay £9.99 and your code appears on screen and in your inbox.

Can I check my serial before I pay?

Yes. The check is free and instant. For most radios we even show you the first digit of your code, so you know it is real before you pay.

How long does it take?

Most codes appear on screen within seconds of payment. Radios our team checks by hand (such as Honda) arrive by email within 2 hours (8am–8pm). We tell you which before you pay.

How much does it cost?

£9.99 per code. No subscription, no account, no hidden fees.

How do I pay?

Securely through Stripe: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Apple Pay, Google Pay and more. We never see your card details.

I lost my code. Can I get it again?

Yes, free, forever. Use Find my code with the email you paid with and we will send your order links again.

Your radio

Where is my radio serial number?

Many radios show it on screen when you hold two preset buttons (Ford: 1+6 or 2+6; Renault: 1+6). Others print it on a label on the radio casing. Pick your car brand for exact steps.

Do I need to remove the radio?

Usually not for Ford, Renault, Toyota and Jaguar. VW group, Fiat, Vauxhall CDR and older Philips units show the serial only on the casing label.

Can you get my code from my registration?

The registration tells us the car, not the radio — radios get swapped. We use your reg to show where the serial is, then the serial decides the code.

My radio says LOCKED, WAIT or SAFE.

It is a timed lock after wrong tries. Leave the radio (and usually the ignition) on until it clears — often 1 hour. See our locked radio guide.

Why did my radio ask for a code?

The battery was disconnected or went flat, or the radio was removed. It is an anti-theft feature.

Guarantee & privacy

What if the code does not work?

Tell us from your order page. If the serial you gave us matches your radio and the code does not unlock it, we fix it or refund you in full.

Which radios can you not do?

Ford Z and A serials (2008 on), Renault MediaNav and R-Link, Nissan-built radios, and serials not in our database. The free check tells you before you pay.

Do I need an account?

No. Your order page link is your receipt and works forever.

Do you store my registration?

No. A registration lookup is used once to identify the vehicle and is not stored.
