BMW radio code: everything you need to know
The BMW car radio security code is a 4-digit code that allows you to unlock your radio after a power interruption. After a battery change or electrical repair on your BMW, the radio automatically asks for the code. Without the correct radio code, the radio remains in security mode.
At RadioCodeLookup.com you can easily request the BMW radio code via the serial number of your radio. You can find this serial number on a sticker on the top or side of the radio, visible after removal from the dashboard. BMW serial numbers generally have their own format depending on the year of manufacture and the radio system.
Our service supports all common BMW radio systems, from the Business CD and Professional to the older models in the 3, 5 and 7 Series. Receive your BMW car radio code directly by email.

Guide
Where do you find your BMW code?
1
Retrieve the serial number via service mode
Hold the "M" button (menu/mode) on the radio front panel for a few seconds. On Grundig and Blaupunkt Business CD models the serial number will appear on the display. Note it down in full — you will need it for the code request.
2
Remove the radio (if display does not work)
Cannot retrieve it via the M button? Remove the radio using DIN extraction tools (round holes on the sides). The GR serial number is on the label on the side or top: starts with "GR" and is 14 characters long (e.g. GR0123Y1234567).
3
Enter the serial number
Enter the full GR serial number below. After you receive the unlock code, enter it using the radio’s preset buttons. Not sure which radio you have? Just contact us.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about BMW radio codes
Everything you need to know about retrieving and entering your BMW car radio unlock code.
How do I find the serial number of my BMW car radio?
The serial number of a BMW radio is on a sticker on the housing of the radio. To see this, the radio must be removed from the dashboard. The serial number is sometimes also listed in the service file or in the car's documentation.
Which BMW radio types are supported by RadioCodeLookup.com?
RadioCodeLookup.com supports the popular BMW radio systems such as Business, Business CD, Professional and Navigation. Older systems from the E30, E36, E46, E90, E60 and X-series are also supported as far as they have a PIN code protection.
Why does my BMW 3 Series or 5 Series ask for a radio code?
BMW has built theft protection into all car radios before 2015 that activates after power failure. After a battery change, repair or disconnecting the battery for maintenance, the radio code is required to unlock the radio.
How do I enter the radio code on my BMW?
On most BMW models you use preset buttons 1 through 4 to enter the code. Each button increases the corresponding digit. Confirm the entry by pressing button 5 or the seek button. Check your specific manual for the exact method.
How quickly will my BMW radio code be delivered via RadioCodeLookup.com?
After payment, you will receive the BMW car radio code automatically by email, on average within 30 seconds. The service is continuously available, even outside office hours, at weekends and on public holidays.
Can I also request my BMW radio code from the BMW dealer?
Yes, a BMW dealer can retrieve the code, but this usually involves waiting time and costs. Via RadioCodeLookup.com you get the code delivered directly for a competitive price, without an appointment or waiting time at the dealer.
What information do I need to request a BMW radio code?
You need the serial number of the radio. This number is on the sticker of the radio. Optionally, the VIN number (chassis number) of your BMW can also be used for verification. Enter the available data on RadioCodeLookup.com and we will automatically look up the code.
What do I do if my BMW radio is blocked after repeated incorrect codes?
Leave the radio switched on for at least 1 hour without attempting to enter. After this wait the block will be lifted. Then enter the correct radio code from RadioCodeLookup.com to unlock your BMW radio.
