Method 2 — Find code in vehicle paperwork or get radio serial number and use a local audio/electronics service

1. Search vehicle paperwork:
   • Check the owner’s manual, service book, dealership invoices, and any stickers inside the glovebox or on the radio (sometimes the code is recorded on a sticker).
2. If code is not found, obtain the radio serial number:
   • See if the radio can display its serial through the on-screen menu (consult the manual).

1. If not, remove the radio from the dash to read the label on the rear of the unit. Use correct tools and follow safe removal procedure to avoid damage.

3. The workshop decodes the serial locally (using offline tools or approved decoding software) and supplies the unlock code.
4. Enter the provided code into the radio according to the radio’s instructions.

Required actions when removing the radio:

• Disconnect vehicle battery before working on the unit if instructed by the manual.
• Use appropriate removal keys and avoid forcing connectors.
