Frequently asked questions

My Trafic is badged Vivaro. Can I still use the Renault method?

If the radio is the Renault-branded unit, yes. If it is a Vauxhall/Opel unit, use the Opel serial-number method instead.

The Trafic III has Media Nav. Does it need a code?

Many Media Nav units are linked to the vehicle. If yours shows CODE, the PRE-code method applies; otherwise the dealer can re-pair it.
