Which radio is in your Alfa Romeo Giulietta?
Alfa Romeo fitted different radios over the years. Find your Giulietta’s years below, but go by the serial: radios are often swapped, and the free check reads it for you.
How to find your Alfa Romeo Giulietta radio serial number
The serial isn’t shown on the screen: it is printed on a label on the radio itself. The serial tells us exactly which code your radio needs.
On the label
- The serial is not shown on screen.
- Take the radio out with 4 release keys (2 each side) until they click, then pull.
- The label is on the metal case, on the back or one of the sides.
- It reads A2C and then a long run of numbers — type the whole thing in. Only the last 4 numbers are the serial and we take them for you.
Take a photo of the label rather than copying it by hand: it’s easy to mix up 0 and O, or 1 and I.
This radio comes out with four removal pins, two in each end of the front. Push them in until they click, then ease the radio forward.
Tips for your Alfa Romeo Giulietta
- Four release keys take the unit out. The label is on the metal case, usually on the top or one of the sides.
- If the label reads A2C and then a long number, type the whole thing in — only the last four numbers are the serial and we take them for you.
- A touchscreen Uconnect that asks for nothing on start-up has no label serial to work from, and the free check says so for nothing.

How to enter your Alfa Romeo Giulietta radio code
Once you have your code, key it in like this. Your order page shows the same steps next to your code.
- For each number in your code, press the button with that number on it, once.
- Confirm with the key on the right of the fascia, or by holding the last button.
- For each number in your code, press the button with that number on it, once.
- There is no OK button: the radio takes the code after the 4th number.
- You have about 20 seconds for the whole code.
If your Alfa Romeo Giulietta radio says LOCKED, WAIT or SAFE
Each wrong code makes the radio wait longer before the next try, and some radios lock for good after too many. Don’t guess: get the right code first, then follow the steps for your radio.
| Radio | What to do |
|---|---|
| Fiat Continental VP1 / VP2 | CODE — wrong tries are counted and the wait between goes grows quickly. |
| Fiat Daiichi / 199 CD | WAIT — the delay grows after each wrong try. Leave the radio on until it clears. |

Why we use your radio’s serial, not your number plate
A radio code belongs to the radio, not the car. A dealer usually looks it up from the Alfa Romeo Giulietta’s number plate or VIN (the 17-character number in your logbook), which only works if the car still has the radio it left the factory with. Radios are often swapped under warranty, upgraded, or changed by a previous owner.
The serial number is printed on the radio itself, so the code we give you matches the radio in front of you. It is also how we can check it for free before you pay. Main dealers often charge £30–£130, and you usually have to book the car in.
Alfa Romeo Giulietta radio code questions
Where is the serial on a Giulietta radio?
On the label on the radio itself. It is not shown on screen, so the unit comes out on four release keys.
Can you do the Uconnect touchscreen?
Only the ones that carry a Continental A2C label. The later touchscreens are matched to the car and ask for nothing, so there is no code to find.
My Giulietta serial starts BP.
That is a Fiat-group Blaupunkt, which runs a scheme of its own. Email us and we look it up by hand rather than guessing at it.
How much is an Alfa Romeo Giulietta radio code?
£9.99 per code. The free check comes first, so you only pay once we know we can do it, and you get your money back if the code doesn’t work.
How long does it take?
Most Alfa Romeo Giulietta codes appear on screen the moment you’ve paid, and we email you a copy. If yours has to be looked up by our team, we email it within 2 hours and tell you before you pay.
What if the code doesn’t work?
Check the serial first: 0 and O, or 1 and I, are easy to mix up. Still stuck? Tell us from your order page and we’ll put it right or refund you in full.
