Nissan X-Trail radio code

Nissan X-Trail

Earlier X-Trails mostly have a Clarion CD unit, with the serial on the label after PN or PP. Later X-Trails have the Nissan Connect LCN unit or Nissan Connect 2 or 3, with a DW or DS serial and a unit number like 28185 3HN4C next to it. We need both for Nissan Connect. The label is on the casing, so the radio has to come out.

Where the serial is

Every Nissan radio has a label on its casing, so the unit has to come out of the dash. Nissan Connect units have a serial starting DW or DS, usually 15 to 17 characters, and a unit number next to it that looks like 28185 3HN4C. We need both, so type the serial in the first box and the unit number in the second. Older Clarion units carry the serial on the label after PN or PP, and some show a 7-digit serial on the screen while they're locked. Daewoo-made units have a BP serial on the label.

How to enter the code

1. 1Turn the ignition on and switch the radio on. The screen shows CODE, or a keypad on Nissan Connect.
2. 2Type the four digits with the on-screen keypad. On Clarion units press preset 1 to set the first digit, 2 for the second, and so on.
3. 3Check the four digits, then press OK or ENTER. The radio comes on straight away if the code is right.
4. 4If the screen says WAIT or LOCKED, leave the radio on with the ignition running for an hour, then try again.
