Our service is personal, not automated, so if you are not sure which numbers to give, provide us with all you see on the outside of the casing and we will check them for you.
Codes for SKODA factory-fitted radios require upto 24 hours to supply as they cannot be 'calculated' and must be obtained from a reliable VAG partner. It also means that the cost is a little higher than our standard price, at £14.95.
We personally acknowledge your request (NOT an auto-responder) and usually succeed in responding by email with your code within 3-12 hours.
After submitting the form, you will be forwarded to our payments page. Note that your request will not be actioned until payment is received. Our service is inexpensive but it is not free. We aim to give a good service to paying customers, with the assurance of our money-back guarantee: If we are not able to supply the factory-set code for your unit, we will explain why and offer some options, and we promise to refund you less 95p to cover our payment processing fee.
I was amazed at how easy it was to reprogramme my radio following your excellent instructions and such a low price. I had been quoted all sorts of amounts and even told by a Skoda dealer "Oh you'll never get that to work, a new replacement will be £300 with labour." As a pensioner money is somewhat restricted but you have restored my faith in humanity, proving that you don't have to rip off people to be successful. (Ken Wilshaw, Skoda Fabia Dance)
Many thanks for that. It worked perfectly. A great service. (Frank Johns, Visteon Dance in Skoda Roomster)
Thanks Kevin. That code you got me worked. I will definitely be recommending you to everyone. (Iain Johnson, Symphony in Skoda Fabia VRS)
The code worked perfectly, thanks a lot. I am going to recommend you on my PS3 clan website as well as to friends. (Gary Watson, Visteon Dance in Skoda Fabia)
With Skoda units, the 14-digit serial number we require will be similar to SKZ7Z3H0013381 except for older models. If there are several numbers on the radio chassis and you are unsure which is the serial number etc., you can list them all in the 'Additional Details' section at the bottom of the form.
For security reasons we require the 17-digit VIN number of your vehicle, assuming the Radio or Sat-Nav is the one originally factory-fitted to your car. Be very careful of buying second-hand units - reported stolen units, or where there have been multiple requests for the code to their database, are flagged on Skoda's system and we would not be able to recover the code for you. However, if you have the VIN number of the original vehicle and the unit is not 'flagged', we can probably help.
Labels applied to the case of the radio may overlap the back and top, or top and side panels. Look to see if such a label is torn along the line where the panels meet and let us know if you see this. It might indicate the radio has been previously repaired and the code reset.
You will need to pull the radio from the dashboard to read the numbers we need from its chassis - this will be on a printed label and/or engraved on the metal case. Some units can be extracted using 'keys' - if this is the case with yours, you will see two small slots each side of the faciaplate. Don't be tempted to try removing the radio another way or force it as you may damage the surrounding dashboard trim. You'll find the keys in motoring stores or online (there are 4 or 5 different types so ensure you buy the correct ones).
Other Skoda units (invariably the double-DIN size type) are extracted by first removing four small cover panels near each corner of the faceplate; these reveal torx head screws - you will need a torx T20 screwdriver to undo them, then pull the radio out.
