Free Citroën C1 Radio Code

Every Citroën C1 from 2005 to 2014: which radio was fitted, where its serial number hides, and what we can do with it.

Your code comes from the serial number of the radio, not from the car — so the first job is getting that number off the unit. The table below is your C1: the units fitted, and where the serial hides on each.

Already have the serial? Type it in and we will tell you straight away whether we can answer it.

Enter Your Serial No:

Which screen is fitted to the car?

Only needed if you are entering a VIN: the generation cannot be read from it, and each one builds a different code. If you typed a serial off the unit, ignore this. Not sure which screen? Pick the closest by year — nothing is charged either way.

That does not look like a Citroën serial — check the table below for where to find it.

We never ask for the code you are missing — only the serial.

Which radio is in your C1?

Generation	Radios fitted	Serial	Where to read it	What we do
P 2005–2014	Blaupunkt, Clarion CD	PH…	label on the casing — the serial starts with PH (Philips-built unit) or C7 (Clarion)	Free — a share unlocks it

Radio names are what is written on the fascia, not the name of the company that built the unit — a “6000 CD” or an “RCD 300” is what you see in the car. Unit fitment varies by market and trim, so treat the list as the usual case and let the serial decide: it is the serial that determines the code, not the model.
