Nissan Qashqai radio code from your serial

The Qashqai keeps its radio serial on the unit rather than the screen, so the radio comes out to read it. Type it into the free check and we will say straight away whether we can do yours.

Which radio is in your Nissan Qashqai?

Nissan fitted different radios over the years. Find your Qashqai’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 Qashqai 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 Qashqai

  • Four release keys into the corner holes. The serial is on the side label once the unit is out.
  • A Qashqai asking for twelve characters rather than four digits wants the glove box code.
  • Later Nissan Connect touchscreens are tied to the car rather than the unit, and those are not something a serial can answer.

How to enter your Nissan Qashqai radio code

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

  1. Enter all 12 characters exactly as given.

If your Nissan Qashqai 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 Qashqai’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 Qashqai radio code questions

My Qashqai has a touchscreen and it is asking for a code.

Bring the serial anyway and let the free check look at it. Some of the newer touchscreen units are tied to the vehicle rather than the radio, and where that is the case we will tell you rather than take your money.

Can I get the code from my registration?

Not for a Nissan. The code belongs to the radio, and radios get swapped, so the serial is the only thing that settles it.

How much is a Nissan Qashqai 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 Qashqai 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.
