Nissan Glove Box Code radio code from your serial

Some Nissan units want a twelve-character code rather than four digits, and it is read off a label inside the glove box rather than off the radio.

Which radio is in your Nissan Glove Box Code?

Nissan fitted different radios over the years. Find your Glove Box Code’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 Nissan Glove Box Code.

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 Nissan Glove Box Code 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.

Where it is

On the label

  1. Open the glove box.
  2. Copy the 12 letters and numbers from the label inside.

Photograph the label rather than copying it by hand — 0 and O, 1 and I are easy to mix up.

RADIOPush both keys in until they click, then pull the radio forward

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 Nissan Glove Box Code

  • Open the glove box and look at the label inside it, not at the radio.
  • Enter the twelve characters exactly as printed.
  • If your radio wants four digits rather than twelve, you want the ordinary Nissan page instead.

Once you have your code, key it in like this. Your order page shows the same steps next to your code.

If your Nissan Glove Box Code 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 Nissan Glove Box Code’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.

Nissan Glove Box Code radio code questions

Why is the code in the glove box and not on the radio?

Because on these units it is tied to the car rather than to the head unit, so Nissan printed it where it stays with the vehicle.

There is no label in my glove box.

Then yours is one of the units that takes a serial off the radio instead. Type that in and the free check will sort out which scheme you are on.

How much is a Nissan Glove Box Code 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?

Our team looks your code up and emails it within 2 hours.

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.
