How to Get Your Škoda Radio Code — Octavia, Fabia, Superb Guide

Škoda Radio Code System

Škoda, as a VAG group brand, uses the same anti-theft radio code technology as Volkswagen and Audi. When your Škoda's battery is disconnected, the radio locks and requires a code. Škoda radio serial numbers start with SKZ.

Finding Your Škoda Serial Number

1. Button method: Press and hold buttons 1+6 for 3-5 seconds. The serial (SKZ...) will appear on display.
2. Physical label: Remove the radio with extraction keys and read the sticker on the housing.
