How to find your Nissan Kubistar radio serial number

Quickest way

On the screen

  1. Switch the radio on.
  2. Hold buttons 1 and 6 together for about 5 seconds.
  3. The screen shows a letter and 3 numbers (like A123). That is your precode.

On the label

The serial is also printed on a label on the top or side of the radio. It comes out with a pair of radio removal keys. Which keys, and where they go: how to remove a car radio.

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

Tips for your Nissan Kubistar

  • Hold buttons 1 and 6 for about five seconds while the radio shows CODE.
  • The label is on the metal case, so two release keys get you to it.
  • The NS and P770 numbers on the label are part numbers, not the precode.
