Which radio is in your Chevrolet Aveo?
Chevrolet fitted different radios over the years. Find your Aveo’s years below, but go by the serial: radios are often swapped, and the free check reads it for you.
How to find your Chevrolet Aveo 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
- Take the radio out.
- Type in the last 8 numbers of the serial on the label.
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.
Most radios slide out with a pair of radio removal keys (a few pounds from any car parts shop). Push them into the slots on the front until they click, then ease the radio forward. Some have screws to undo first.
Tips for your Chevrolet Aveo
- Read the label on the radio rather than any paperwork — radios get swapped, and the one in the car is the one that matters.
- A Daewoo unit takes the last 8 numbers of its serial; a Blaupunkt has 14 letters and numbers starting BP.
- Later Aveos with a Delphi unit or a touchscreen are not ones we can do, and the free check says so before you pay.

How to enter your Chevrolet Aveo radio code
Once you have your code, key it in like this. Your order page shows the same steps next to your code.
- Set each number with the numbered buttons, then confirm.
- Buttons 1 to 4 each set one number.
- Hold button 5 (or the tuning knob) to finish.
- Won’t go above 1 for the first number? Use the second code we give you.
If your Chevrolet Aveo 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 |
|---|---|
| Blaupunkt / Bosch | After a wrong code, most Blaupunkt radios make you wait before the next try, and the wait gets longer each time. Leave the radio switched on until it asks for the code again. |

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 Chevrolet Aveo’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.
Chevrolet Aveo radio code questions
Was the Aveo a Kalos?
Yes. The Daewoo Kalos became the Chevrolet Aveo in 2005 without the car changing, so the radios are the same.
Where is the Aveo radio serial?
On the label on the radio. Take it out with removal keys and photograph the label.
How much is a Chevrolet Aveo 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 Chevrolet Aveo 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.
