Don't bother, pay more money, use a better service

So, i sent the wrong serial number, trying to correct this was a nightmare, every time i emailed i just got an automated reply. When you try to navigate the 'help' page- nothing works, bloody hopeless, there is a phone number- doesn't work, i eventually got my code after 15 emails. NEVER AGAIN

We’re sorry you were unhappy with the experience.

The delay arose because the original serial number submitted was incorrect. Once the correct serial was provided, we supplied a replacement code free of charge, despite the fact that replacement lookups cost us money and many suppliers charge extra in these circumstances.

We would also like to clarify that the review does not accurately reflect the level of contact involved, as the number of emails exchanged was significantly fewer than 15. Automated acknowledgements may be sent initially, but customer enquiries are reviewed and responded to.

We always aim to resolve genuine issues fairly, and in this case we did exactly that by providing the correct code at our own expense.

Brilliant

Brilliant. Quick and easy. Waited 12 hours to get the code for free. Very helpful video with code email on how to enter code.
Great service. Thanks.

I did pay for radio code with my apple…

I did pay for radio code with my apple pay and it gave me random email address.
I contacted support and attached photo of the email and order and the proof. 24h from the email and no response whatsoever.
I paid £15 for a radio code.

Phone number is not working and no way to contact them.

Scam! Keep clear!

Paid by PayPal, receipt send immediately but no correspondence after. Auto response when I try to email them. Says on receipt 4 to 24 hrs, that was 3 days ago. No code sent and no way of getting my money back. Definitely a scam .Do not use!
Wait! After submitting this review, I later received my code by email, so I apologise for calling it a scam. However I will stick with the one star review because a lot of anguish would have been prevented if they had communicated with me. Also they should state on their site that the process could take up to a week, there would not have been a problem then.

Worked just fine :)

I put in the serial number of my radio and had to upload a photo of the sticker with all the details of the radio - had my code short time after and it worked perfectly. Thank you so much!

Avoid this company.

Avoid this company.

I paid for a radio code which does not work. I followed all instructions correctly and still the code failed. I contacted support multiple times but only received copy-paste replies with no real help.

No refund, no proper support, just a waste of money. Very frustrating experience.

I would strongly recommend avoiding this service.

Lost code, great service, free but the paid for option very reasonable.

The code for my 15 year old Ford Fusion had been lost. Yesterday evening I took a chance on this site. It was easy to use with clearly laid out instructions to follow. I was given the choice of receiving the code for free but this would take 12 hours to be emailed or to pay £4.95 to have the code sent immediately. £4.95 is very reasonable so I opted for that, received the code straight away and after waiting for the radio to display CODE (which took 30 minutes and was the longest and most frustrating part of the job so be prepared) was able to follow the instructions to input the code and confirm and the radio sprang to life! This morning there was an email (check your spam folder, mine went there) with the code as promised.
I would recommend this site if you need a radio code - no fuss, genuinely free if you don't mind a wait and affordable if you rather as small price to finish the job then and there.

Amazing!!!!

I am amazed at how quick this code came through. Thank you, I will definitely recommend you to anyone needing this service. As soon as I paid the code was on my screen and now my radio is working. Absolutely brilliant
