Which radio is in your Nissan Note?
Nissan fitted different radios over the years. Find your Note’s years below, but go by the serial: radios are often swapped, and the free check reads it for you.
How to find your Nissan Note 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
- Open the glove box.
- 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.
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 Note
- Four release keys, one per corner hole.
- On a Clarion-built unit the serial is under the barcode, not above it.

How to enter your Nissan Note radio code
Once you have your code, key it in like this. Your order page shows the same steps next to your code.
- Enter all 12 characters exactly as given.
- Buttons 1 to 4 set each number. Clarion codes only use the numbers 1 to 6.
If your Nissan Note 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 Note’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 Note radio code questions
My Note is a Tekna with the bigger screen.
The trim level does not change where the serial lives. It is still on the label on the unit.
How much is a Nissan Note 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 Nissan Note 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.
