Which radio is in your Fiat Stilo and Bravo Visteon?
Fiat fitted different radios over the years. Find your Stilo and Bravo Visteon’s years below, but go by the serial: radios are often swapped, and the free check reads it for you.
What is printed on the label
A part number identifies the model and is the same on every one ever built. The serial is yours alone, and it’s the one we need. They’re easy to mix up, so here is what to expect on a Fiat Stilo and Bravo Visteon.
| Printed on the unit | What it is |
|---|---|
| The serial | On the label on the top or side of the casing. |
| A Fiat part number | Printed alongside it and shared across the model. |
A part number can’t produce a code, because every radio of that model shares it. If yours is one of those above, keep looking: the serial is the longer number, usually on its own line or a barcode label.
How to find your Fiat Stilo and Bravo Visteon 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 6-number serial on the label on the radio.
Photograph the label rather than copying it by hand — 0 and O, 1 and I are easy to mix up.
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 Fiat Stilo and Bravo Visteon
- The unit has to come out: this one does not show its serial on screen.
- Visteon also built for Ford, which is why a Stilo serial and a Ford serial can look alike. Ours works out which it is from the shape of it.

If your Fiat Stilo and Bravo Visteon 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 Fiat Stilo and Bravo Visteon’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 is printed on the radio itself, so the code matches the radio in front of you. It is also what lets us check for free before you pay. Main dealers often charge £30–£130, and you usually have to book the car in.
