Free Renault Captur radio code
A Renault Captur radio code is calculated from the four-character precode on the radio label, or looked up from the VIN for the original unit. We do that ourselves, so it's free if you can wait a day and instant if you can't.
Renault Captur
Most Capturs have the Radio Connect unit or the Media Nav touchscreen. The Radio Connect asks for a code and has a precode of one letter and three digits on its label, or a part number starting 2811 with the precode at the end. The Media Nav and later R-Link screens usually lock to the car instead. If yours shows CODE, the label or the VIN gets it sorted.

Where the serial is
The easiest route is the VIN: 17 characters starting VF1, on the label in the driver's door pillar, on the plate at the bottom of the windscreen, or on the V5C. Type it and we look up the code for the radio the car left the factory with. If the radio has been changed, use the precode instead: pull the radio out and read the label on its casing, where the precode is the letter and three digits after the word SECURITY, or type the whole barcode number below it.
How to enter the code
- 1Turn the radio on; the display shows CODE or 0000.
- 2Press preset 1 until the first digit is right, then 2, 3 and 4 for the others.
- 3Press and hold preset 6 until the radio beeps or the display changes.
- 4If it refuses, switch off, wait a minute and enter it again slowly.
Renault Captur · Questions people ask
Does a Captur Media Nav need a code?
Usually not. It locks to the car rather than asking for a code. If your Captur shows CODE, it is the Radio Connect unit, and that code is worked out from the label.
Where is the label on a Captur Radio Connect?
On the casing, so the unit has to come out with release keys. The precode is one letter and three digits, often at the end of a 2811 part number.
Can I use the Captur VIN instead of the serial?
Yes, for the radio the car came with. VIN lookups are instant: free in 24 hours or instant service available. The precode from the label is instant.
