Hi there,

If you don't have the radio code stored in your owners manual or radio supplement, you will have to go to the dealer as they will have to get it off the master database using the cars VIN No.

Mark, the serial number on the back of the radio is the one you will need, not the vin. Send the number, I'll see what I can do. Or replace the radio with something decent, the aftermarket is ready, for less than 50 bucks you can beat the tar out of that BMW radio.
