Every Suzuki Swift from 2004 to 2020: 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 Swift: 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.
| Generation | Radios fitted | Serial | Where to read it | What we do |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RS/FZ 2004–2020 |
Clarion, Bosch, Panasonic CD | SU… | label on the top or side of the unit | 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.
From 2004 to 2020 the Swift came with the radios below; the serial on the unit is what decides the code.
On Swift cars from 2004–2020 the radio fitted was usually one of: Clarion, Bosch, Panasonic CD. The serial reads SU…; label on the top or side of the unit. We can work it out, and while the rule behind it is still being confirmed the code is free — all we ask is that you tell us whether it fitted.
Careful: most units lock for good after about ten wrong attempts. If a code does not take, stop and email us before trying again.
RS/FZ (2004–2020): SU…, label on the top or side of the unit.
Yes — while the rule behind it is still being confirmed the code is free, and we ask you to tell us whether it fitted.
Turn the radio on — it asks for the code. SX4, Splash and Swift units with a personal code: the owner chose that code, so no service can work it out from the serial. Its digits go in on presets 1–6, one press per digit. Older Clarion units that show CODE: set the digits on the presets and tell us what the display asks for before confirming.
