Find the serial

  1. It is not shown on screen, so take the radio out with radio removal keys.
  2. Copy the serial from the label: 14 letters and numbers starting PHAP.
  3. Radio says RD3? That is a different radio, so type in its own serial instead.

It isn’t shown on the display, so read it from the label on the radio’s case (usually the top or side).

Taking the radio out

The radio has to come out so you can read the label. Most slide out with a pair of radio removal keys (a few pounds from any car parts shop); some are held in by screws behind the trim. Photograph the label rather than copying it by hand.

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

Enter the code

  1. The steps vary from radio to radio (they are not the same as the RD3).

Locked out?

Radio locked? Leave the ignition on for a full hour.
