Delco Radio Codes

Delco Radio Removal Guides

To locate your serial number, the first step is removing your Delco radio from the vehicle. This is an essential step for decoding Delco radios online, as we provide your original Delco radio code for your radio based on the serial number, unlike Delco main dealers who use the registration or Chassis number. This means that our Delco codes are more accurate, especially if its a second hand car where the Delco radio may have been replaced either under warranty or by a previous owner.

1. Simply insert the removal tools or equivalent into the two or four slots to in the corners of the Delco radio as illustrated.
2. Most require you to push the tools away from your radio which causes the clips to push into the radio and away from the dashboard to release
3. The stereo should easily slide out without too much pressure.

Delco Serial Number Location Guide

Once you have successfully removed your car radio, Locate the serial number by inspecting the top and right hand side of the radio.

An example of serial numbers commonly found on Delco Car Radios :

• GM020511542553
• GM0500Y9085652

Before getting a code we recommend you first ensure your Delco radio is not blocked. Simply turn the radio on, and try to enter the first digit of any code "ONLY THE FIRST DIGIT" If this is ok, immediatly turn the radio off. If you find however that you are unable to enter any digits, leave your radio powered up for 1 hour continuously to reset itself.

Whilst you have it removed also check for any labells such as Repaired... Exchange.. and check that labels such as Warranty Void if Removed are in-tact.

If your Delco radio is blocked, or the radio codes you have or we supply fail to work, we also offer a Workshop Radio Decoding service, allowing us to reset or reprogramme the majority of Delco radios which require a code.
