I’ve been using Radio Code Generator for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that can retrieve the activation code for your car radio or navigation system. Pretty solid if you’ve got an older car that needs the code to get the radio working again.
Here’s how it works – you just take a picture of the serial number on your radio, and the app generates the code on the spot. There’s also an option to look up the code by your car’s VIN, which is handy. I found it works with most major car brands, so that’s a big plus.
Look, if you’re dealing with a locked radio, this app is worth checking out. It’s not perfect – the interface could be a bit more polished – but overall it does the job and gets you that code fast. Definitely beats calling the dealer.
