Which radio is in your Vauxhall Movano?

How to find your Vauxhall Movano 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 Vauxhall Movano
- Hold buttons 1 and 6 for about 5 seconds with the radio on.

Vauxhall Movano radio code questions
Why does my Vauxhall have a Renault radio?
The Movano was built alongside the Renault Master and uses the same radios, which is why the precode works.
How do I enter the code?
Use buttons 1 to 4 to set each number, then hold button 6 until the radio beeps.
Can you do every Vauxhall Movano radio?
For 1998–2010, 2010–2014, yes: the code appears on screen as soon as you have paid; for 2014 on, not at the moment. Later Movano radios are linked to the van, so there is no code we can work out from the radio. A dealer can help. The free check tells you which yours is before you pay.
