How to Get Nissan Radio Code?
If your radio code is missing, you have a few options.
Dealer Option (Time-Consuming, VIN Required, With Paperwork)
The slower way to get it is by contacting a dealer, car manufacturer, or authorized service center.
They typically require your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), proof of ownership and vehicle documents, and sometimes even a registration certificate.
The process is usually slow.
Some charge a fee (which can be expensive), while others offer it for free - but it can take hours or days.
Fees vary, and turnaround times range from same-day to several days.
This method is official but not ideal if you need the code quickly.

How to Find the Serial Number (S/N) on Your Nissan
By Extracting the Radio (Commonly Used Method)
The majority of factory radios, the serial number is printed on a sticker attached to the top of the unit.
To access it, you'll need to slightly extract the stereo using standard removal keys.
- You'll find a label with numbers and barcodes
- The serial is usually a mix of letters and digits, 8-14 characters long
- Avoid confusing it with the part number - only serial can be used for code generation
Physical removal is often the most reliable way to access your S/N.
LCN Screen Method
Blaupunkt Label
Juke Screen Display
Clarion Label
Pro Tip: For most modern Nissan vehicles with LCN/Navi systems, you can display the serial number on screen by entering 3 incorrect codes. No radio removal needed!
On the Display (Without Unit Removal)
Some digital radios allow you to see the S/N via a button combination.
- Try holding preset buttons 1 & 6 while turning on the radio
- A hidden menu may reveal the S/N
- The combination of buttons for every radio is different.
Not all models support this, but it's worth checking before removing the unit.
The Difference Between the Serial Number and Part Number
The Serial Number (S/N):
- This is the unique identifier assigned to your specific radio.
- It's used by our radio code generator.
- Usually found next to a barcode.
The Part Number:
- This refers to the radio series of the unit.
- It's used by manufacturers for inventory, but irrelevant for unlocking your stereo.
- Usually labeled "P/N" or "Part No.".
How to Enter the Radio Code
Once you have the code, entering it is usually simple.
You'll see a prompt like "CODE", "ENTER CODE" or four dashes on startup.
Use the radio preset buttons or numbered keys to input each digit.
Some models require you to press a specific button - such as pressing "OK," "Enter," or "5" to confirm or holding "Seek", "Tune" or the preset key.
Be careful not to enter the wrong code multiple times.
After 3-10 wrong attempts, some radios trigger a lockout timer or require a long wait.
If your radio is locked, we can help reset it. Our guides cover the steps.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Security Code and Why You Need It?
A radio, an anti-theft or a security code is a short numeric password used to reactivate your radio after power loss.
It's designed to prevent theft by disabling the radio if disconnected from the battery.
Why You Might Need a Nissan Radio Code?
- Battery was disconnected or replaced
- You installed a new or used radio
- Fuse was blown and replaced
- You jump-started the vehicle
- Radio was reset to factory settings
- A technician disconnected the battery or ran a diagnostic
- Someone entered incorrect codes too many times
- You bought a used car and the code wasn't provided
- Inactivity can cause the anti-theft lock to engage
Do Nissan cars Require a Radio Code?
Yes, all Nissan vehicles with factory-installed radios require a radio code after battery disconnection or radio replacement. This applies to all models including Micra, Qashqai, Juke, X-Trail, Navara, Note, Leaf, Pulsar, and Qashqai.
The anti-theft feature is standard on all Nissan radios manufactured by Blaupunkt, Clarion, Bosch, Continental (LCN), and Daewoo. Your 4-digit code is permanently linked to your radio's unique serial number. Modern vehicles can display the serial on screen without removal.
Where to Find Your Code (If You Already Have It)?
Start by checking the user guide. The code is often found on a detachable slip or written directly on a page.
You can also check the glovebox or trunk, where dealers or previous owners may have stuck a sticker with the code. Some also search for it behind trim pieces or inside the fuse box.
If you have the original manufacturer label, that's the best place to find the code - it usually includes both the serial number and unlock key.
Can You Get Free Nissan Radio Code?
There are a few options - but they don't always work.
- Look inside the glovebox or vehicle documents - some vehicles came with the code printed at delivery.
- Call an authorized service center - some offer free code retrieval if you're the original owner and can provide registration papers.
- Try DIY forums or online databases, but they don't work for serial-based systems.
- If none of these work, our service is the fastest and most accurate option.
