How to find your Fiat Ducato radio serial number

- Take the radio out with 4 removal pins (2 each side).
- Read the serial on the label on the radio (on a Grande Punto it is on the back, by the plug).
- Type in the last 4 numbers, or the letter and 4 numbers.
Photograph the label rather than copying it by hand — 0 and O, 1 and I are easy to mix up.

Tips for your Fiat Ducato
- The serial isn’t shown on screen. Take the radio out with 4 removal pins and read the label.
- Motorhomes built on the Ducato usually keep the Fiat radio, so this works for them too. The Peugeot Boxer and Citroën Relay use the same radio.
- Label says A2C and a long number? That is a Continental VP1 or VP2 — type the whole line in, we do those too. BP or 815 is a different radio again: type it in and the free check will tell you.
