Which radio is in your Dacia Logan MCV?
Dacia fitted different radios over the years. Find your Logan MCV’s years below, but go by the serial: radios are often swapped, and the free check reads it for you.
How to find your Dacia Logan MCV radio serial number
Most Dacia Logan MCV radios show their serial on the screen, so you don’t need to take anything apart. The serial tells us exactly which code your radio needs.
On the screen
- Switch the radio on.
- Hold buttons 1 and 6 together for about 5 seconds.
- The screen shows a letter and 3 numbers (like A123). That is your precode.
- Nothing shows? Check the separate screen on top of the dashboard, or look for "PRE CODE" on the radio’s label.
On the label
The serial is also printed on a label on the top or side of the radio. 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.
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.
Tips for your Dacia Logan MCV
- Only the estate (MCV) was sold here, from 2013. An older Logan saloon in the UK is an import.
- Hold buttons 1 and 6 for about five seconds while the radio shows CODE.
- The same radios are in the Sandero and Duster, so the steps are identical.

How to enter your Dacia Logan MCV radio code
Once you have your code, key it in like this. The example below shows the button presses. Your order page shows the same steps next to your code.
Renault precode
- Use buttons 1, 2, 3 and 4 to set each number.
- Hold button 6 for about 5 seconds until the radio beeps.
If your Dacia Logan MCV 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 |
|---|---|
| Renault precode | WAIT or ERROR — leave the radio on for 30–60 minutes and try 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 Dacia Logan MCV’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.
Dacia Logan MCV radio code questions
Where is the Logan radio precode?
Hold buttons 1 and 6 with the radio on, or read the label on the radio itself.
Can you do a MediaNav?
No — that code is tied to the car rather than the radio. A Dacia dealer can sort those.
How long does the code take?
Seconds. The free check tells you before you pay.
How much is a Dacia Logan MCV 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 Dacia Logan MCV 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.
