Bosch radio code

Bosch radios have a 14-character serial starting with CM. They use the same code methods as Blaupunkt (formerly part of Bosch), and we calculate them instantly from the full serial – including Calais and Dover USB radios and many units fitted to Fiat, Lancia, Alfa Romeo, Iveco, DAF and John Deere.

How Bosch serials work

A Bosch serial is built like a Blaupunkt one: CM + 4 digits + 1 character + 7 digits. The 4 digits identify the radio model. You do not need to work out which digits to use – type the full serial and we do it for you.

Bosch radios fitted by vehicle makers are listed on the vehicle pages: Lancia, Iveco, DAF, John Deere, Fiat and Alfa Romeo.

Frequently asked questions

What does a Bosch radio serial look like?

CM, 4 digits, one letter or digit and 7 digits – for example CM6697X1234567.

My Bosch radio was fitted to a car or truck – which brand do I choose?

Choose the vehicle brand (for example Lancia, Iveco or DAF) in the form; we then recognise the exact radio. Choose Bosch only for Bosch-branded radios.
