Which radio is in your Suzuki Swift?
The Swift has had 3 sets of radios since 1990, from the Suzuki radios built by Clarion to the Touchscreen radios. Find yours by year below, but go by the serial: radios get swapped, and the free check reads it for you.
How to find your Suzuki Swift radio serial number
On the label
- Take the radio out.
- Find the barcode label (use the bottom one if there are two).
- Type in its last 4 numbers.
Photograph the label rather than copying it by hand — 0 and O, 1 and I are easy to mix up.
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 Suzuki Swift
- Check the name on the radio: Clarion radios go by the barcode, Blaupunkt ones by a serial starting BP.
- Take the radio out on release keys and photograph the label.
- Plenty of older Swifts have a radio with no code at all — if it never asks, nothing is locked.

How to enter your Suzuki Swift radio code

- Buttons 1 to 4 each set one number.
- Hold button 5 (or the tuning knob) to finish.
- Won’t go above 1 for the first number? Use the second code we give you.

If your Suzuki Swift radio says LOCKED, WAIT or SAFE
| Radio | What to do |
|---|---|
| Blaupunkt / Bosch | After a wrong code, most Blaupunkt radios make you wait before the next try, and the wait gets longer each time. Leave the radio switched on until it asks for the code again. |

Suzuki Swift radio code questions
Where is the serial on a Swift radio?
On the label on the radio case.
My Swift radio doesn’t ask for a code.
Then there is nothing to buy. Many Suzuki radios of that era had no code feature.
Which numbers do I use?
On a Clarion radio, the last four of the barcode; the free check reads the whole thing for you.
Can you do every Suzuki Swift radio?
For 1990–2003, 2005–2010, yes: the code appears on screen as soon as you have paid; for 2017 on, not at the moment. The free check tells you which yours is before you pay.
Which radio does my Suzuki Swift have?
It depends on the year. 1990–2003 (Older Swift): Suzuki radios built by Clarion, some Panasonic radios (many had no code at all). 2005–2010 (Swift): Suzuki CD radios built by Clarion, Blaupunkt on some cars. 2017 on (Latest Swift): Touchscreen radios. Radios were often swapped, so the serial on yours is what counts.
Do I have to take the radio out of my Suzuki Swift?
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 Suzuki Swift?
Presets 1 to 4 set each digit. Clarion codes only use the digits 1 to 6, so if one of yours is outside that range the barcode has been misread.
