Car radio security codes - unlocking car stereo’s
Car radio security codes
Lost the serial number for your stereo or sat nav? Don’t worry this happens to many of us, sometimes we did not even realise there was a code until we had a flat battery or had to have the battery disconnected for maintenance. The suddenly we need to input security code or no sounds! Luckily nowadays its a lot easier toget security codes for all ICE. However this also means that as a security measure, car stereo security codes are worse than useless, anyone with a credit card can have a working serial number in seconds without providing any proof of ownership whatsoever!
Car stereo unlock codes
There are many companies online who will issue an unlock code for your stereo either by phone, text or email. Virtually all manufacturers are covered including Blaupunkt, Grundig, Becker, Philips, Sony, Delco and many others.
Car stereo unlock code
Sometimes its hard to tell which stereo model is fitted as many car manufacturers will commission car audio companies to supply stereo’s for their cars branded by car manufacturers name, not the stereo manufacturer. If you are not sure which model you have here is a brief guide to car manufacturers and the stereo models they fit.

BMW - Philips, Blaupunkt

Please do not order an unlock serial code based on the above information only, it is only intended as a rough guide to help you identify the model of stereo fitted.
Car radio unlocking software
With dealers charging approx £25 plus VAT to provide unlocking codes having a piece of software to do it for you seems like a good plan. However we have recieved mixed reports on the effectiveness of the software available so check out independant reviews etc before you purchase.
One last tip, although car dealerships will often charge you for unlocking the stereo they certainly do not have to! providing this information takes them seconds and costs nothing. If you phone your local dealer and they attempt to charge for this information, its always worth phoning around and speaking to other dealers, you may well get lucky!

Avoid: “Car-Radio-Unlocking” website, they charge for an easy step by step guide which was useless. The first step was call your local dealer! The second step was a link to a programme they could not verify would work and my stereo was not on the list. The final step was buy a more expensive radio code cracker!! Felt pretty duped tbh!

Sir, I purchased my Mercedes Benz ML 320 SUV 2001 model in Lagos as third hand only to discover that the radio is requesting for a security code to play. The car dealer does not have the codes. Please help me, i am in a hot soup. VIN : 4JGAB54E41A258465
RADIO SERIAL NUMBER: AL 4210 1 08 13097.
My Naira Mastercard cannot be accepted. My code has been identified in http://www.radio-code.co.uk but they requested for about 9 pounds which i am finding difficult to pay with my Naira mastercard.
Thank you.
