Renault Radio Code

The fastest way to get your code, with no need to touch the radio. Find your VIN in one of these places:
• the windscreen base plate (visible from outside the car)
• the driver’s door jamb sticker
• your V5C logbook

Renault VINs usually start with VF1, 8A1, 93Y or 9FB. Enter all 17 characters in the serial field above. Your code is delivered instantly as long as the VIN is correct.

Enter your vehicle's VIN in the serial number box at the top of this page and we will do the rest. No radio removal needed.

You can find your VIN on the windscreen, in the door jamb of your car, or on your vehicle registration document.

On the Renault Trafic and Master the quickest way is the vehicle VIN (step 1 above), which unlocks the radio on its own with nothing to remove.

Prefer to use the radio label? There is no screen method, so remove the unit: release keys into the four corner holes, then slide it forward.

Visteon unit: enter the serial (a barcode of about 11 characters, for example 03RAI4I0182) and the part code (the Renault Part Code, starting 281 and ending in R, for example 281152752R).

Renault unit: enter one number only, the security number or the barcode starting 2811, 8200 or 7700 (for example 281157844RTC109).

If you cannot use your VIN, remove the radio from the dashboard to read its serial label.

Older models (Clio I to III, Megane I to II, Scenic I to II, Laguna, Trafic): push radio release keys into the four small corner pinholes of the fascia and apply gentle outward pressure. The unit slides forward with no wires to disconnect.

Newer models (Clio IV+, Captur, Scenic III+, Kadjar, ZOE, touchscreen units): carefully remove the surrounding trim panel with a trim prying tool, undo the mounting screws and slide the unit forward.

Your serial will be in one of these formats:
• a letter and 3 digits (H758, A123) on Philips or Blaupunkt units, often at the end of a longer barcode in a box labelled "Security", "Pre Code" or "Code"
• starting 2811 (281150198RTC703): use the boxed number near the bottom of the label, not the part code at the top
• an 8200 barcode (8200607918TJ110)
• a 7700 barcode (7700433948T0540)

For 2811, 8200 and 7700 numbers, enter the full number as your serial.
