Which Kangoo do you have?

• Kangoo I (1997-2007) — Philips or Tuner List radio

Frequently asked questions

My Kangoo is a commercial van without a screen. Where is the PRE-code?

Yes, the petrol, diesel and electric Kangoo all use the same Renault radio systems and the same PRE-code method.

How much does the dealer charge for a Kangoo radio code?

A Renault dealer typically charges £30-£60. Through our service it is faster and significantly cheaper.
