How do I find my Mercedes C-Class serial number?

When your Mercedes-Benz C-Class's radio, stereo or navigation becomes disconnected from the battery, usually due to a garage service or a low battery, it automatically locks and begins to ask for a radio unlock code. As this is an anti-theft feature it's not possible to unlock a Mercedes radio without this code, but finding your radio code is an easy process that can be done in minutes. Many dealerships and online generators decode the radio code from the VIN number, but this code will be incorrect if the radio has ever been changed in the vehicle's lifetime.

The most accurate way to get your Mercedes C-Class's unlock code is by decoding it from the radio's serial number. Our instant Mercedes-Benz C-Class radio decoder currently supports the following serial numbers:

ALXXXXXXXXXXXX (starts with AL)
BEXXXXXXXXXXXX (starts with BE)
PAXXXXXXXXXXXX (starts with PA)
BOXXXXXXXXXXXX (starts with BO)
DBXXXXXXXXXXXX (starts with DB)
A1234567 (1 letter followed by 7 numbers)
12345678 (8 numbers on their own)
1234567 (7 numbers on their own)
*XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX* (Becker barcode number in stars)

Careful

Because we incur costs and fees for every code we generate, our Refund Policy does not usually cover codes decoded from incorrect serial numbers. For this reason you should always double-check that the serial number you enter into our decoder has the same letters and numbers as the serial number on your radio (don't worry about spaces). We will always make exceptions in obviously confusing situations, such as when a Q looks like an O or an I looks like an L.

Method 2: removing your Mercedes C-Class radio or navigation

Don't worry – removing your radio is not as hard as it sounds, and for most Mercedes models you won't even need to disconnect any wires. Simply slide out the radio from the dash and take a picture of the label at the top or side of the radio. The exact process for removing your radio depends on whether your radio has removal slots or not. Look carefully around the front of your radio for 2 or 4 holes: these will either be flat and key-shaped or square/slightly rounded.

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 Mercedes C-Class radio doesn't have any visible removal slots, the exact removal process depends on your radio's model. To find the easiest and most specific instructions for removing your model, search YouTube for your vehicle's model: for example, Mercedes C-Class 2005 radio removal. For most Mercedes radios and navigations, the only tools you will need are a trim/pry tool and a T20 screwdriver.

Unfortunately, it's not possible to unlock a Mercedes 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 Mercedes 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 TrustPilot reviews). Our prices will always be shown up-front, and our radio codes are already priced as low as possible while allowing us to stay profitable, provide reliable UK-based support and continue adding 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 Mercedes 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 we decode the code from the radio's serial number for the best chance of unlocking your radio.

All our C-Class 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.

This means an incorrect radio code has been entered. To bypass this lock leave the ignition and radio on for up to 2 hours until you're able to enter another code. If you're not able to enter a code after 2 hours, this means an incorrect radio code has been entered 10 different times - we call this a "hard lock". The only way to bypass a hard lock is to physically take the radio to a specialist with the hardware tools needed to clear the lock in the radio's EEPROM chip. However, this is a much more expensive process and it can often work out cheaper to buy a new radio. For this reason you should get in touch with us as soon as possible instead of wasting your code entries.

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 C-Class radio.

This process varies depending on your vehicle's radio. Each of our Mercedes 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.
