Was a bit dubious as to whether this was going to be a waste of time but thought 'it's much cheaper than going to a garage' so took the plunge...and so glad I did! Works in moments and was spot on.

Thank you for a great service. A very easy to use website. Literally took a couple of minutes to get my code from start to finish. The code worked perfectly and your instructions were perfect. A bonus is you were half the price of other sites I looked at. I will definately use AWS again and I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this site to anyone

How to Decode your Car Radio

  1. First remove the radio from the car. Our removal guides should help with this.

  2. Locate the serial number, using the illustration(s) as a guide

  3. Enter the serial number into the radio code search

  4. If available, you will be given the option to purchase your code along with delivery information

Once you receive the code, you can use our Free Radio Code Entry Help section to assist you with entering the code.



Serial Number's

car radios will normally contain a 14 digit serial number which can be found either printed on a label or engraved on the side of the unit.

These serials are only visible once the radio has been removed from the vehicle.

Examples of serials include:



More info about retrieving your lost code.

By using our online radio decoding service, you not only save yourself money, but also time and the additional hassle involved. Most vehicle main dealers will require you to book an appointment and take the car and paperwork (v5 logbook) into them before they apply for your radio code.   Once they do apply for the code, 9/10 times it will be based on the vehicle registration or VIN number of the car itself, which is fine if you have owned your car from new. However, receiving the radio code days later only to find that it did not work is yet another inconvenience.

There are a number of reasons why a stereo code based on your vehicle registration or vin number may not work, including:


At Radio-Code, we don't provide radio codes based on the car, instead we provide the code based on the individual and unique serial number of your car radio, regardless of what it was fitted to originally.  Our radio codes have proven to be more accurate than main dealer's because of this.



What our customers have to say...

Hello, I just wanted to say a massive thank you for providing my radio code. I left my lights on and had a flat battery which made me call out the AA to get me running again , then after I tried my radio it asked for the code I was confused until I came across your website. it was so easy to use and was so very reasonably priced, I removed the radio got my serial number and then in less than five minutes had my code from you, it went in strait away and my radio is back to normal. I had contacted ford who wanted me to book my car in for them to do it and receive a hefty bill. no thanks.. Radio code uk came to my rescue, 10 out 10 . what a great site .. thanks a million regards Steve Lindsey . Steve Lindsey
