About Us

Built by drivers, for drivers.

We started OnlineRadioCodes in 2015 because unlocking a car radio shouldn't cost a fortune, take a week, or require a trip to the dealership. Over a million customers later, we're still here, still the fastest, most trusted service on the planet.

Our story

We saw a problem.
So we fixed it.

For years, recovering a car radio code was more difficult than it needed to be. A flat battery, a routine service, or buying a used car, and suddenly your radio locks up. Getting it back meant one of three things:

Dealerships charging $40–$70+ for a simple code

Waiting days or weeks for an appointment

No clear guidance on what to do or where to start

We knew there had to be a better way. So in 2015, we built an online service that delivers radio codes instantly, or within the hour, at a fraction of the cost. No appointments, no waiting, no hassle.

Good to know

Why your radio has locked

Car radios are protected by a built-in security code. When the radio loses power, it locks automatically to prevent theft. Your radio is not faulty. It just needs its code.

Battery disconnected

Dead battery, new battery, or unplugged during repairs.

Electrical or mechanical work

Dashboard repairs, radio removal, wiring work or fuse issues.

Buying a used car

The previous owner didn't pass on the code.

Once power is lost → the radio asks for a code.
