DS Automobiles screens unlocked online — the code is built from your car’s VIN.
DS screens are the same SMEG family Citroën and Peugeot fitted, so the code comes from the car’s VIN rather than from a serial on the unit — nothing has to be removed.
The VIN is on the plate at the base of the windscreen, on the door pillar, and on your registration document.
The form asks which screen generation is in the car: the VIN alone does not say, and each one builds a different code.
Expect a sixteen-character code, not a four-digit one — that is what these units ask for.
Worth knowing before you start. On these screens the code is not always what unlocks the car: a unit that was swapped between cars is normally re-paired to the VIN with dealer diagnostics instead. If your screen never asks for a code, nothing here applies — and since no owner has confirmed this rule to us yet, we charge nothing for it either way.
17 characters, no I, O or Q. Windscreen base, door pillar or logbook.
