Recovering Your Radio Security Code
A missing PIN can be retrieved through a few different options:
Getting the Code from a Dealer (VIN Needed)
The slower way to get the radio code is by contacting a Hyundai dealer, manufacturer, or authorized service center.
They usually ask for your VIN, proof of ownership, and vehicle documentation.
In some cases, additional verification such as a registration certificate may also be required.
The process is usually slow. Depending on the each dealer and availability of records, retrieving it may take several hours or even a few days.
Some dealers provide the code for free, while others charge a fee - which can sometimes be quite expensive.
Find Radio Code - Fast, Reliable and Low-Cost
Instead of visiting a dealership, you can retrieve your Hyundai radio code very fast using our system.
All you need is the radio's serial number, which you can find on the sticker, the unit or the display.
There's zero paperwork involved. Once the payment is done, your PIN code is displayed instantly and sent to your email.
The database includes thousands of supported Hyundai radio units.
Find Radio Code handles everything securely. If the code doesn't work, you're protected by a 100% refund.
Where to Locate the Serial Number on Your Hyundai Radio
The serial number identifies your specific Hyundai radio and allows the system to calculate the correct code.
Remove the Radio Unit
Every Hyundai radio code is generated from the serial number printed on the unit itself. Whatever is on your label, the simplest way to enter it is to put HYUNDAI: in front of it - that prefix works for every supported Hyundai unit.
The short answer: type HYUNDAI: followed by the serial from your label.
Examples: HYUNDAI:MP01060807 · HYUNDAI:M0674077020 · HYUNDAI:UAU9404233S · HYUNDAI:1234
- Hyundai EMP3 - the serial is printed under the second barcode on the top label, next to "SERIAL No.", for example MP01060807. Serials starting MP, MC, MT, MD, HM, BQ, TQ, BTJ or BTC are all EMP3-family labels.
- Hyundai Autonet - the M0 number along the bottom edge of the label, for example M0674077020. Autonet labels also appear as a model number like HN445JMEUABCA, or a serial starting UAU, G7U, UBTE, FSV or CXNB - all of those are accepted.
- Hyundai MP3 (FD-01, MP3-03A, MP3-03G, MP3-05G, MP3-05TU, MP3-36TU) - the label carries a GS1 barcode split into two bracketed parts. You only need the last 4 digits of the (21) part - see the worked example below.
- The VIN is never used for a Hyundai radio code. Only the radio serial number produces the correct code.
Watch: getting the radio out to reach the label
i30 (2012-2014) - release keys and trim
Tucson - trim panel and unit removal
Getz - fascia off, radio slides out
Other models follow the same pattern: trim off, four screws or clips, slide the unit forward far enough to read the label on top. Nothing needs unplugging.
Worked Example: Reading an FD-01 / MP3 Barcode Label
(01) 1 880 912179 001 7
part number - ignore
(21) 06 12 4122
serial - use the last 4
HYUNDAI:4122
The same label in the flesh - only the marked digits are needed.
The (01) section is identical on every FD-01 and MP3 unit, so it can never identify your radio. Your own last 4 digits will differ - they are unique to your radio.
Which number do I type? Put HYUNDAI: in front of whatever your label shows - the full serial on EMP3 and Autonet units, or just the last 4 digits on MP3 units. The part number printed on the same label (for example M85002B100, or the (01) section above) is not the serial.
Finding the Serial Number on the Display
Some Hyundai MP3 units do show the serial on screen - hold the preset buttons as described in your manual and the number appears in the display. Take the last 4 digits from it and enter them as HYUNDAI:1234.
EMP3 and Autonet units do not show the serial on screen. Those radios have to be slid out of the dash with the correct release keys so the label on the top of the case can be read - the trim usually comes off without disconnecting anything.
The Difference Between the Serial Number (S/N) and Part Number (P/N)
The Serial Number (S/N):
- This is the individual ID assigned to your specific radio.
- It's required to generate the unlock code.
- Usually found starting with a brand-specific prefix like "M," "V," or "CL".
The Part Number:
- This refers to the radio series of the unit.
- It's used by manufacturers for replacement purposes, but not for code generation.
- Often longer and more generic.
Entering Your Radio Unlock Code
After retrieving the unlock code, the input process is quick.
The unit typically shows four dashes on startup.
Use the radio keys to select the numbers.
Some models auto-confirm on final digit - like pressing OK, Enter, or 5 to confirm or holding preset key, Seek or Tune.
Too many wrong attempts may lock the radio.
Too many incorrect tries the radio may temporarily disable input.
Lockout time varies by brand, from a few minutes to several hours.
If you're unsure about the entry method, check the manual or our guides.

Help & FAQs
Many built-in vehicle radios will ask for a PIN code after a power interruption.
This happens because the radio includes an built-in protection feature designed to discourage stolen units.
When power is restored, the unit enters CODE mode before normal operation resumes.
The required code is a few digit code that restores normal operation.
- You recently changed or disconnected the battery
- A previous owner didn't supply the radio code
- Vehicle was serviced or scanned
- You or a mechanic performed a factory reset
- A blown fuse caused the radio to reset
- You installed a new or used radio
- Someone entered incorrect codes too many times
- Radio asks for the code after sitting unused for a long time
- You jump-started the vehicle
Yes. Hyundai factory radios lock themselves after the battery is disconnected, the car is jump started, or the unit is moved to another vehicle. The display shows a code prompt and the radio stays silent until the correct 4-digit code is entered on the preset buttons.
The code is tied permanently to the radio's own serial number, not to the VIN and not to the car. That is why a replacement or second-hand Hyundai radio needs its own code rather than the one from the unit it replaced. We cover the Hyundai EMP3, Autonet and MP3 units, and the code is delivered instantly after payment.
Start by inspecting the user guide. The code is often found on a label or written directly on a page.
You can also search the glovebox or trunk, where dealers or previous owners may have stuck a sticker with the code. Some also search for it behind trim pieces or inside the fuse box.
If you have the original radio code card, that's the simplest place to find the code - it usually includes both the serial number and unlock key.
There are a few options - but they don't always work.
- Try DIY forums or online databases, but these are risky and rarely accurate.
- If none of these work, our service is the fastest and most accurate option.
- Check your owner's manual or code card - some vehicles came with the code printed at delivery.
- Call an authorized service center - some offer free code retrieval if you're the original owner and can provide registration papers.
Typical Hyundai radio codes cost $19.99 - a one-time fee with no extra fees, and the exact price for your serial number is shown at checkout. Compared with dealer prices that run much higher, our online service delivers the code instantly after payment, and it's backed by a full money-back guarantee if it does not work.

A wrong code puts the radio into a timed lockout and the display switches to WAIT. Leave the unit powered with the ignition on and wait it out - it usually clears in about an hour - then enter the code again. Do not keep guessing, because each wrong attempt restarts the wait. Should our code be rejected, get in touch and you are refunded in full.
Turn the unit on until it asks for the code, then enter the digits with the preset buttons 1 to 4. Pressing a button increases that digit, meaning preset 1 is the first digit, preset 2 the second, and so on. Confirm the entry as your unit instructs - usually by holding a preset or pressing the menu or enter button.
No - a Hyundai radio code comes from the radio serial number, not the VIN. Renault and Dacia are the rare makes that work from the VIN - Hyundai is not one of them. Read the serial off the radio label and enter it above with the HYUNDAI: prefix for an instant code at $19.99.
We cover the Hyundai EMP3, Autonet and MP3 units, which is the vast majority of factory Hyundai radios. That includes the EMP300 to EMP350 range, the FD-01 and MP3 series, and Autonet HN445 units. When the form above accepts your serial, the unit is one we can decode - and if the code turns out wrong, you get your money back.
No free tool produces a working Hyundai code. The code is tied to the individual radio serial, so it has to be calculated rather than looked up in a list. Sites offering free Hyundai codes either fail or return a code for a different unit. Ours is $19.99 with a full refund if it does not work.
Who Built the Radio in Your Hyundai?
The maker on the radio label tells you which guide you need. Below are the radio makers we support for Hyundai, with the number of units behind each.
Watch: entering the code on the preset buttons
Entering the code with presets 1 to 4
There is no keypad. Each preset button steps its own digit up by one: button 1 sets the first digit, 2 the second, and so on to 4.
Check all four digits before you confirm - a wrong entry starts the lockout timer and costs you about an hour.
Not sure which number on the label is the serial?
Our Hyundai radio code guide walks through the EMP3, Autonet and MP3 labels, how to read the GS1 barcode on FD-01 units, and how to clear the WAIT lockout if a wrong code has been tried.

Part number or serial? The part numbers above identify the radio model - note that every MP3 and FD-01 unit shares the same
(01) 1 880 912179 001 7, so it cannot identify your radio. The code is generated from the serial number - enter that in the form at the top of the page.
