Renault Kadjar radiocode
The Renault Kadjar (2015–2022) is a compact SUV that became the successor to the Koleos in the smaller segment. The Kadjar is equipped with the R-Link 2 navigation system, an advanced touchscreen infotainment platform. The special thing about the Kadjar is that the R-Link 2 system is VIN-linked and in most configurations no longer requires a traditional four-digit radio code after power loss. This fundamentally distinguishes the Kadjar from older Renault models.

Where do I find the PRE code in my Kadjar?
On the Renault Kadjar with R-Link 2, in most cases there is no PRE-code or radio code needed. The system recognises the vehicle via the VIN number and does not lock upon battery disconnection. If your Kadjar does request a code (this can happen with certain software versions or special circumstances), please contact us — in some cases there is a recovery option via the dealer.
Useful tips for the Kadjar
- If your Kadjar R-Link 2 does request a code after battery change, this is probably a software error — contact Renault or an authorised dealer.
- For problems with the R-Link 2 system after battery replacement (frozen screen, no boot), a soft reset via the screen's on/off button is the first step.
- The Kadjar has a 12V power socket in the dashboard compartment — never use this as a charging point for heavy equipment to avoid battery problems.
- Keep the VIN number of your Kadjar in a safe place — this is the key to the R-Link 2 system for service queries.

Frequently asked questions about the Kadjar radio code
Most Kadjar models (2015–2022) with R-Link 2 do not require a traditional radio code after power loss. The system is VIN-linked and does not lock. If your Kadjar does request a code, this is exceptional and we advise contacting Renault.
Hold the screen's on/off button for 10 seconds for a soft reset. If the screen still does not work afterwards, try a hard reset (ignition off, wait 30 seconds, ignition on). If problems persist, a visit to the Renault dealer is necessary.
In most cases not, because the Kadjar does not have a traditional PRE-code system. Please contact us via our contact page if you have specific questions about your situation.
The Captur I (2013–2019) has Media Nav with PRE-code security. The Kadjar (2015–2022) has R-Link 2 which is VIN-linked and does not require a code. This is a fundamentally different system.
