How to find your Rover 25 radio serial number

Where it is

On the label

  1. Some radios show it: hold DISP or DISPLAY for a few seconds.
  2. Otherwise take the radio out and take a photo of the label.
  3. Copy all 14 letters and numbers, like BP3782R3701682.

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

It comes out with a pair of radio removal keys. Which keys, and where they go: how to remove a car radio.

Tips for your Rover 25

  • Two release keys take the radio out; the serial is on the label.
  • The free check reads the serial and tells you before you pay.

Rover 25 radio code questions

Can you do a Rover 25 radio?

Yes, when it is the Blaupunkt CD32 or CD43 (serial starting BP) or an early Philips radio with an AR or RG serial.

Where is the serial?

On the label on the radio, so the radio has to come out.

My handbook code doesn’t work.

The book records the radio the car was built with. If the radio has been changed, go by the serial on the one that’s in there now.

Can you do every Rover 25 radio?

For 1999–2003, yes: the code appears on screen as soon as you have paid; for 2004–2005, not at the moment. The free check tells you which yours is before you pay.

Which radio does my Rover 25 have?

It depends on the year. 1999–2003 (Rover 25): Blaupunkt CD32 and CD43 radios, Philips R860 on early cars. 2004–2005 (Rover 25, facelift): Siemens VDO radios. Radios were often swapped, so the serial on yours is what counts.

What does the serial look like on a Rover 25?

14 characters starting BP, or a Philips serial starting AR or RG. For example BP3782R3701682.

Do I have to take the radio out of my Rover 25?

Yes: the serial is on the label, not the screen. It comes out with a pair of radio removal keys.

How do I enter the code on a Rover 25?

Presets 1 to 4 each step their own digit. Hold preset 5, or the tuning knob on some fascias, to submit.
