Free Renault Clio Radio Code

Which radio is in your Clio?

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.

How to enter the code in your Clio

1. Presets 1 to 4 each own one position of the code — button 1 sets the first digit, button 4 the last.
2. Every tap steps that digit up by one, so keep tapping until it matches your code.
3. With all four digits showing, hold button 6 until the radio beeps — a short press does not count.
4. If holding 6 does nothing, hold 5 until it beeps, then hold 6 until it beeps.
5. Units with no buttons of their own (the code shows on the dashboard display): turn the thumbwheel behind the steering wheel to set each digit, press the end button of the stalk to move on, and hold it after the fourth digit until the beep.
6. After a wrong code the radio waits, longer each time: leave it switched on until CODE returns.

• Digit keys
• Confirm

Careful: most units lock for good after about ten wrong attempts. If a code does not take, stop and email us before trying again.
