Which radio is in your Citroën Relay?
The Relay has had 3 sets of radios since 2002, from the Blaupunkt radios badged for the van to the Continental VP1 and VP2 radios, and touchscreens. Find yours by year below, but go by the serial: radios get swapped, and the free check reads it for you.
How to find your Citroën Relay radio serial number
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.
Photograph the label rather than copying it by hand — 0 and O, 1 and I are easy to mix up.
It comes out with four removal pins. Which keys, and where they go: how to remove a car radio.
Tips for your Citroën Relay
- A Relay radio label often reads Fiat Ducato — the vans are built together and share the radio.
- Four release keys; the serial is on the label on the case.
- Motorhomes on a Relay base usually keep the same radio, so this works for them too.

How to enter your Citroën Relay radio 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.
- 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.
- 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 Citroën Relay radio says LOCKED, WAIT or SAFE
| Radio | What to do |
|---|---|
| Fiat Continental VP1 / VP2 | CODE — wrong tries are counted and the wait between goes grows quickly. |
| 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. |
| Fiat Daiichi / 199 CD | WAIT — the delay grows after each wrong try. Leave the radio on until it clears. |

Citroën Relay radio code questions
Is the Relay the same as the Jumper?
Yes. Jumper is the same van sold under a different name abroad.
Can you do a 2016 Relay?
Often yes. Those have a Continental VP1 or VP2, whose label reads A2C and a long number — type the whole line in. If it is a touchscreen there is no label serial, and the free check tells you for nothing.
Where is the serial?
On the label on the radio, so the radio needs to come out.
Can you do every Citroën Relay radio?
For 2002–2006, 2006–2014, yes: the code appears on screen as soon as you have paid; for 2014 on, by email within 2 hours. The free check tells you which yours is before you pay.
Which radio does my Citroën Relay have?
It depends on the year. 2002–2006 (Relay): Blaupunkt radios badged for the van. 2006–2014 (Relay X250): Fiat-group radios made by Daiichi, plus Blaupunkt and Bosch radios. 2014 on (Relay, facelift): Continental VP1 and VP2 radios, and touchscreens. Radios were often swapped, so the serial on yours is what counts.
What does the serial look like on a Citroën Relay?
2002–2006: 14 characters on the label, starting BP. 2006–2014: Daiichi: 4 numbers, or a letter and 4 numbers. Blaupunkt: 14 characters starting BP. 2014 on: A label reading A2C and a long run of numbers. For example A2C53108793 1234.
