Which radio is in your Dodge Nitro?
Dodge fitted different radios over the years. Find your Nitro’s years below, but go by the serial: radios are often swapped, and the free check reads it for you.
How to find your Dodge Nitro 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.
- Read the 4-character serial on the label on the radio.
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 Dodge Nitro
- The Nitro uses the same radio family as the Caliber of those years.
- Photograph the whole label — the serial length tells us which radio it is.
- MyGIG touchscreens are matched to the vehicle and aren’t covered.

If your Dodge Nitro 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.

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 Dodge Nitro’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.
Dodge Nitro radio code questions
Where is the serial?
On the label on the radio, after the radio comes out.
Is the code four numbers?
Yes, keyed in on the radio’s own buttons.
Can you do the touchscreen one?
No — those are matched to the vehicle.
How much is a Dodge Nitro 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 Dodge Nitro 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.
