How can I find the code for my Humax radio?
If you have not lost the Humax code yet, check these places first - many vehicles ship with the code written down somewhere in the car.
- Glovebox - Many manufacturers ship a small sticker labelled "Anti-theft unlock code" inside the glovebox door or top panel.
- Owner's manual - Often handwritten on the inside cover or stapled to the page covering the radio.
- Code card - A small slip of paper inside the original purchase pack - sometimes inside the radio sleeve itself.
- Service records - Dealers sometimes write the Humax radio code into the maintenance log after a battery service.
- Old paperwork - Previous owners often leave the code in the document folder, especially on second-hand cars.
- Dealer paperwork - The original window-sticker pack or sales folder sometimes lists the radio code.

How to Enter the Security Code
After receiving the correct unlock code, the activation process is usually quick and straightforward.
When the anti-theft system is active, the radio will lock out all audio features and ask for the unlock code immediately.
The Code Input Process Explained:
Depending on your specific Humax unit interface, use the preset buttons, touchscreen keypad, or numbered controls to enter each digit of the code:
- Standard button entry method (No direct number keys): If your unlock code contains numbers like 8 or 0, you use presets 1 to 4 to dial them in. Press button 1 multiple times to change the first character, button 2 for the second character, button 3 for the third, and button 4 for the fourth.
- For touchscreen or full-keypad models: Type the security numbers exactly as they appear in your delivery email using the integrated dashboard keypad.
⚠️ The Security Lockout Penalty:
Many radios enter a SAFE, WAIT, or temporary lockout mode after 3 to 10 incorrect attempts.
If you're unsure how to confirm the code or navigate your specific hardware layout, check your original radio manual or contact our support team.

How to Find the Serial Number on Your Humax Radio
By Removing the Radio Unit (Most Common Method)
For most factory-installed and aftermarket radios, the serial number is printed on a physical label attached to the top, side, or rear of the radio unit casing.
To access it, you'll usually need to slightly pull the stereo out of the console. Depending on the vehicle and radio model, this may require basic dashboard tools:
- Look for a white, silver, or yellow sticker labeled "Serial," "S/N," or containing a barcode
- The serial typically contains a combination of letters and numbers
- Do not confuse the serial number with the model or part number
On the Radio Display (Without Removing the Unit)
Some digital infotainment systems and specific factory units allow the serial number to be displayed directly on-screen using a hidden service menu or a specific button combination.
Humax-specific: Humax Carminat TomTom units reveal the serial through the touchscreen service menu - tap Settings > System > About / System info and the chassis serial appears in the device info section. The locked "Enter Code" screen also shows the serial above the keypad.
- Try holding "INFO" + "MENU" while switching the radio on
- Some radios show the serial before the "CODE" screen loads
- Button combinations vary depending on the radio family
This feature is only available on selected digital and factory-integrated models. If nothing appears after trying the button combinations, you'll need to physically remove the radio and check the metal casing label manually.
Humax Serial Number Examples
Different radio manufacturers use different serial number formats.
Below are some common examples found on Humax radios:
- The first characters often identify the radio platform or production series
- Serial formats vary, but they are typically alphanumeric
- Newer infotainment systems may reveal the serial without removing the unit
- Many OEM systems place the serial on the top or side of the radio housing
Humax prefix patterns

Real Humax serial examples
HX01234567CMR0098765432
Humax Carminat TomTom serials are typically 10-12 characters. The label also shows a TomTom subscription line - submit the Humax chassis serial, not the TomTom subscription code.
The exact format varies depending on the radio manufacturer and vehicle brand. Entering the wrong serial may generate an incorrect code.
About Humax Radios
Humax is a South Korean electronics manufacturer best known for set-top boxes and broadcast receivers - and a smaller but specialized supplier of automotive infotainment to Renault. The Humax Carminat TomTom navigation generation (2010-2015) replaced the earlier VDO Carminat platform and shipped on Renault Megane III, Scenic III, Laguna III and Fluence. Humax units use a 7-inch touchscreen with TomTom satellite navigation and a 4-digit unlock code stored against the chassis serial.
Humax is one of the radio manufacturers used across numerous vehicle brands and markets.
Depending on the production year and vehicle model, these radios may appear under different brand names while sharing the same underlying hardware.
One of the easiest ways to recognize a Humax radio is through its serial number structure and prefix pattern.
The format of the serial number differs between product families and production years.
Some Humax radios allow the serial number to be displayed directly on-screen.
For older systems, accessing the label on the radio housing remains the most reliable identification method.
For the best results, use the full serial number without removing prefixes or characters.
Even radios that appear identical may require different codes because they belong to different production families.

Frequently Asked Questions
If the paper sticker or yellow label on your Humax unit is ripped, faded, or missing, don't panic.
In almost all cases, the manufacturer stamps the primary serial number directly into the side or rear metal frame of the stereo housing.
Look closely at the metal body of the radio - you will find a stamped sequence (such as a prefix followed by a series of digits) that matches the format of your unit.
An invalid serial message typically happens if a number is mistyped or if a part number was entered by mistake.
To fix this, check the following common issues:
- Confusing Letters and Numbers: Double-check that digits like 0/O or 1/I are entered correctly based on the standard Humax format.
- Using the wrong reference number: Ensure you are not typing the Part Number (P/N), Model Number, or a barcode reference. Only the Serial Number (S/N) can generate an unlock PIN.
- Incorrect formatting: Type the entire serial number as a single continuous string of text without adding spaces, hyphens, or special punctuation marks.
If your screen displays SAFE, WAIT, or a LOCKED status, the device has entered temporary or permanent protection mode after wrong entries.
Depending on the exact Humax model, the solution varies.
Temporary Lockout: You just need to leave the radio turned on with the vehicle ignition switch in the ACC position for 30 to 60 minutes. Once the waiting period ends, the display will change back to the "CODE" or "0000" input prompt.
Permanent Lockout Status: Some units, especially Ford/Visteon or Sony-made systems, lock permanently after 10 or 13 failed attempts. For "LOCKED 10", you can often hold the preset button 6 for several seconds to get a final attempt. If the ultimate lockout level is reached, an online generator cannot bypass it, and physical servicing is needed.
Unfortunately, the VIN will not work here. The unlock code is generated using only the unique Humax serial number found on the device itself.
This is actually a major advantage:
If your radio was replaced by a previous owner, came from a second-hand car, or was upgraded later, a VIN-based code from a dealer will not work.
Our serial-based generator delivers the exact security PIN for that specific radio unit, regardless of which car it is currently installed in.
Absolutely. Our system supports original car radios built by Humax for vehicle brands, as well as aftermarket models purchased separately.
The only requirement is a valid, standard serial number format. If your device has that identification code, our automated lookup platform can process it instantly.
