How to find your Nissan NV400 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.
  4. Nothing shows? Check the separate screen on top of the dashboard, or look for "PRE CODE" on the radio’s label.

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 NV400

  • Hold 1 and 6 for about five seconds before taking anything apart. If a precode appears, we can do it.
  • The NV400 is a Renault Master underneath, so the radio is the same one.
  • If the screen never asks for a code, there is nothing to buy.

Nissan NV400 radio code questions

Does my NV400 have a radio code?

The button radios do, and show a precode when you hold 1 and 6. Touchscreen vans usually don’t.

Is it the same as a Master or Movano?

Yes, those vans share the same radios.

Where else can I find the precode?

On the label on the radio, beside the word SECURITY.

Can you do every Nissan NV400 radio?

For 2010 on, yes: the code appears on screen as soon as you have paid; for 2014 on, not at the moment. The free check tells you which yours is before you pay.

Which radio does my Nissan NV400 have?

It depends on the year. 2010 on (NV400 with a button radio): Renault-built radios and CD players. 2014 on (NV400 with a touchscreen): Media Nav and NissanConnect screens. Radios were often swapped, so the serial on yours is what counts.

What does the serial look like on a Nissan NV400?

Hold 1 and 6: a letter and 3 numbers, or read it on the label. For example A123.

Do I have to take the radio out of my Nissan NV400?

Usually not: with the radio on, hold 1 and 6 and the serial shows on the screen.

How do I enter the code on a Nissan NV400?

Presets 1 to 4 set each digit. Hold preset 6 for about five seconds to confirm.
