Step 1

Which Land Rover radio do you have?

Find the serial for your radio below. The serial tells us exactly which unit it is.

Ford M-series (Visteon)

Instant

4000 RDS, 4500 RDS E-O-N, 5000 RDS, Sound 2000, 3000 Traffic, and the earliest 6000 CD units

Serial: Letter M + 6 digits · e.g. M123456

Switch the radio on (ignition to position I or II).
Hold presets 2 and 6 together for 2–3 seconds.
Watch the display — the serial scrolls past, usually last. Note the letter and 6 digits.
Nothing? Try the other pair once. Still nothing? It is on the label on the radio casing.

Rover / MG / Mini Philips

Not available

Philips R570 (22DC570/60), R670 (22DC670/60E), R681 (22DC681/60L), and the 22DC349, 594, 652, 710, 711, 741 and 745 chassis

Serial: 14 characters starting AR or RG · e.g. AR570WX8146086

Remove the radio.
Copy the 14-character serial starting AR or RG from the label or case.
The Security Information card also shows it.

Check the handbook wallet for a code card, or ask a main dealer with your V5C and proof of ID.

Step 2

How to enter your Land Rover radio code

Once you have your code, key it in like this.

Press preset 1 until the first digit shows. Repeat with 2, 3 and 4 for the other digits.
Press preset 5 to confirm (Land Rover: the right-hand seek arrow).
Wrong code? The count goes up. Stop at LOCKED 10 and see our lockout guide.

Locked out? LOCKED 10 or LOCKED 13 — leave the radio and ignition on for 1 hour, or hold preset 6 for 10 seconds to earn 3 more tries (LOCKED 10 only).
