Don't pay or wait more than you need to for your Grundig radio code. We generate all Grundig codes instantly, so whether you drive a Vauxhall or a Mercedes, whether you listen to Heart FM or your own tunes – we'll get you back into your radio or navigation in minutes.
To find your Grundig radio's serial number you will need to slide out the radio from the dash and take a picture of the label at the top or side of the radio. Don't worry – this isn't as hard as it sounds, and for most Grundig models you won't even need to disconnect any wires. The exact process depends on whether your radio has removal slots or not. Look carefully around the front of your radio for 2 or 4 round holes.
If your radio has flat key-shaped slots (image 1), you'll need these radio release keys. If you're in a rush you can also try using everyday items that will fit into the slots, such as a few letter openers or thin bread knives - you'll need one for each slot your radio has.
If your radio has round or square slots (image 2), you'll need these radio release keys, or you can try using a few thin screwdrivers or barbeque skewers.
Once you have your radio release keys, insert each one into your radio's removal slots until you feel some resistance or hear a click. If you're using flat radio release keys, insert each key with the curved side facing the inside of the radio (image 3).
Finally, start pulling your radio out while pushing the release keys outwards, away from the radio - this will give them enough grip to pull out the radio. In most cases you won't need to disconnect any wires - simply take pictures of all the labels on the radio and click it back into the dash.
If you'd prefer to see this process visually, see this video.
If your Grundig radio doesn't have any visible removal slots, the exact removal process depends on your vehicle's manufacturer and model. To find the easiest and most specific instructions for removing your radio, search YouTube for your vehicle's model: for example, Mercedes-Benz W168 radio removal.
Once you've partially removed your radio from the dash and can see the sticker label on top or side, take a picture of it and compare with the image examples below to identify your radio's serial number. If you can't find a matching serial number on the radio's labels, it may also be engraved into the radio itself (images 1 and 2).
Our instant Grundig radio decoder currently supports the following serial numbers:
Once you have your serial number, all that’s left is to enter it into our Grundig radio decoder and generator at the top of this page. If you're still having trouble identifying your serial number, simply contact us with a picture of your radio's sticker label and we'll help you identify it at no extra cost.
Since we have one of the largest databases of Grundig serial numbers and radio codes in the industry, we also have one of the highest decoding success rates. A few of the manufacturers and models that we are currently able to generate a radio code for include:
Unfortunately, it's not possible to unlock a Grundig radio asking for a security code without entering the code. This is intentional as these codes were originally designed as an anti-theft feature to make it harder for thieves to steal and resell car radios.
Due to the costs of running a small business providing radio codes around the world 24/7, it's not possible to sustainably offer Grundig radio codes for free. There are many decoding services out there that attract customers with the word "free" only to reveal a price at the very last second or fail to deliver a code at all (as shown by their reviews). Our prices will always be shown up-front, and our radio codes are already priced as low as possible while still allowing us to stay in business, provide reliable English-speaking support to customers and continue adding support for more models and manufacturers.
Not only were we the first radio decoding company to offer radio codes for all manufacturers at one fixed price, we were also one of the first to charge as low as £4.99 - before we came along virtually no decoding company offered radio codes at such an affordable price, and to this day we still beat 95% of our competitors on price, without making you wait around for your code.
Unfortunately it's not possible to generate a Grundig radio code from the registration plate at all. Although most dealerships and some online decoding sites do use the VIN to decode the radio code, this is not reliable due to being tied to the car rather than the radio. This means that if your radio was changed since it was first manufactured, a radio code decoded from the VIN will be incorrect. For this reason RapidRadioCodes - like most online decoding sites - decodes the radio code from the radio's serial number, which gives us the best chance of unlocking your radio.
All our Grundig radio codes are decoded instantly, displayed on the screen immediately after payment and sent to your email at the same time. To ensure that your code and receipt are sent to you, double-check that the email you enter when paying for your radio code is correct. If it's been more than 2 minutes since you purchased your code and you haven't received your email, get in touch with us so we can look into why this might be. In most cases this is down to a misspelt email address.
So you've located your serial number, entered it into our radio code generator, and received your decoded radio code in return. Congratulations! Now comes the best part: using your new radio code to unlock your Grundig radio.
This process varies depending on your vehicle's radio. Each of our Grundig radio codes come with simple instructions to enter your new code at no extra cost. To receive your entry instructions, double-check that your email address is spelt correctly at the payment stage. If it's been more than 2 minutes since you purchased your unlock code and you haven't received your email or receipt, get in touch with us so we can look into why this might be. This is usually down to a misspelt email address.
