Free Renault Clio radio code
A Renault Clio radio code is calculated from the four-character precode on the radio label, or looked up from the VIN if the radio is still the original. FreeCarRadioCodes does that free with a 24-hour wait, or straight away for $5.
Renault Clio
Most Clios have a Renault-branded unit made by Philips or Continental, the Update List, Tuner List or Radiosat, and later ones the Media Nav or Radio Connect. The label on the casing shows a precode of one letter and three digits, like K307, or a part number starting 8200 with the precode at the end. If you would rather not pull the radio, the VIN from the windscreen plate works for a factory-fitted unit, though VIN lookups go to our desk and take 24 hours.

Where the serial is
The precode is on a white label stuck to the side or top of the radio. Look for a short code like K307 or K205, often the last four characters of a longer number such as 281164920RTK307. Some newer units show the precode on screen when you hold 1 and 6. No label and no screen? Switch the box to VIN and type the 17 characters from your windscreen plate or V5C.
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.
