Mercedes-Benz radio code: everything you need to know
The Mercedes-Benz car radio security code is a 4-digit security code that protects your radio after a power failure. After a battery change or disconnecting the battery from your Mercedes, the radio shows "CODE" or a similar message and you can only continue after entering the correct code.
At RadioCodeLookup.com you request the Mercedes radio code via the serial number of your radio. The serial number is on a sticker on the side or top of the radio, which becomes visible after removal. On some Mercedes models the serial number can also be requested via the radio menu itself.
Our service supports all common Mercedes-Benz models with a classic radio system, from the C-Class and E-Class to the Sprinter and Vito. Receive your Mercedes car radio code directly by email, 24/7.

Frequently asked questions about Mercedes-Benz radio codes
Everything you need to know about retrieving and entering your Mercedes-Benz car radio unlock code.
How do I find the serial number of my Mercedes car radio?
The serial number is on a sticker on the housing of the radio. To read it, the radio usually has to be removed from the dashboard. On some newer Mercedes models, the serial number can also be requested via the audio system menu or via the diagnostic system.
Why does my Mercedes C-Class or E-Class ask for a radio code?
Mercedes-Benz has the theft protection built into all car radios before 2015 as standard. As soon as the power supply is interrupted, the protection activates automatically. This prevents the radio from being usable when it is used outside the vehicle.
How do I enter the radio code on my Mercedes?
On most Mercedes models you enter the code via the buttons of the audio system. Use the number buttons or navigation arrows to select the digits. Then confirm the code with the OK button. Consult your manual for the exact entry method for your model and year.
How quickly will I receive the Mercedes radio code via RadioCodeLookup.com?
After payment, you will receive the Mercedes car radio code directly by email, usually within 30 seconds. The service is available 24/7, so you can always continue quickly without waiting for a dealer's or garage's opening hours.
Which Mercedes-Benz radio systems are supported?
RadioCodeLookup.com supports the most commonly used Mercedes radio systems, including Audio 5, Audio 10, Audio 20, Comand and older Becker and Alpine systems used in Mercedes models. Enter your serial number to check if your specific radio is compatible.
Can I request my Mercedes radio code for free from the dealer?
A Mercedes-Benz dealer can retrieve the code, but this usually involves costs and waiting time. Via RadioCodeLookup.com you receive the code directly and more cheaply, without having to take the car to the dealer.
What information do I need to request a Mercedes radio code?
You need at least the serial number of the radio. In some cases, the VIN number (chassis number) of your Mercedes is also requested for additional verification. Both details can be found on the radio itself and in the vehicle documents.
What do I do if my Mercedes radio has received an incorrect code multiple times?
If the radio is blocked after too many wrong attempts, leave it switched on for at least 1 hour. Then try again with the correct code from RadioCodeLookup.com. Always make sure you have the correct code at hand before you start entering.
