Which radio is in your Renault Twingo?

How to find your Renault Twingo radio serial number
On the screen
- Switch the radio on.
- Hold buttons 1 and 6 together for about 5 seconds.
- The screen shows a letter and 3 numbers (like A123). That is your precode.
- 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 Renault Twingo
- The Twingo was only sold new in the UK from 2007, so any older one here is an import.
- Hold 1 and 6 for about five seconds with the radio asking for the code.
- A MediaNav touchscreen has no precode: its code is tied to the car.
