Get Your Radio Code

A Renault / Dacia car radio shows CODE or SAFE after losing power and needs its unique unlock code, which is derived from the radio's serial number. Enter your serial below to get the code instantly — free for most variants, $4.99 for verified instant-unlock series, with a money-back guarantee.

Not sure which series? RN serials start with RN, RG serials start with RG. Short codes are a single letter followed by 3 digits (e.g. A100). Check the chassis label or on-screen display.

How to Find Your Renault Radio Serial

Method 1 — On-screen serial (Clio, Megane)

With the radio in CODE mode, press and hold button 1 and 6 together for 5 seconds. The serial displays in two groups — combine them for the full serial (e.g. RN459F + W4043933 = RN459FW4043933).

Method 2 — Radio chassis sticker

Remove the radio from the dashboard. The serial number is printed on a sticker on the top or side of the unit — it begins with RN (standard), RG (Kangoo/Dacia), or is a short code like A100 for older units.

Dacia models (Sandero, Logan, Duster) typically use the RG series. Select Renault RG / Dacia from the dropdown for these vehicles.

FAQ

My Renault Clio shows CODE — is the battery dead?

No — this is normal. Renault radios lock automatically when power is interrupted. Enter the 4-digit PIN code to restore operation.

How do I enter the code on a Renault Megane?

Use the 6 station preset buttons. Buttons 1–4 select each digit. Press each button repeatedly to cycle through 0–9 for that position. Confirm with button 5 or 6 depending on your radio model.

My Dacia Sandero needs a code — which series?

Dacia radios use the RG series. Select 'Renault RG / Dacia' from the dropdown and enter the serial starting with RG from the radio's chassis sticker.
