How to find your Rover 45 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.
