Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Reviewers had a great experience with this company. Customers are pleased with the overall service and the user experience, which they found easy and straightforward. People highlight the convenience of obtaining radio codes, especially when dealerships prove to be expensive or unhelpful. Consumers appreciate the service for older cars, with many reporting that the codes worked effectively, allowing them to use their radios again. However, some reviewers express mixed feelings regarding the response time and the pricing. Some users experienced delays in receiving their codes, while others found the service to be fast and efficient. A few consumers have pointed out that the service is not entirely free, despite the initial impression, and some suggest that the company should be more transparent about the fees involved.

The wait time was much longer than advertised at checkout. The code didn't work at first, but support was very helpful and got it working. I had the radio working within a day.

The process of getting the radio code was a piece of cake. Easy, fast and a good price. I would highly recommend and would use again if needed.

When it says FREE radio codes it's mis advertising to then charge £9.99 to receive a code!

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

They shouldn't waste the time of the people.. instead of calling it freeradiocodes it needs to be called £8.99radiocodes

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

What is the meaning of free, when at the end you charge a fee? Stop miss leading people to get them in your web page. Remove that free word from your adds.

Paid for the code and they gave me a wrong one. Had to create a ticket and wait few hours before get the correct one

Con says its free code its not charge you at last stage site shouldn't say free code

The service was quick and accurate, I would suggest a short explanation of how to put the numbers in the radio and the necessity for a long press on the 6 button to activate

Hmm, flat battery and then lost my radio code. Once I got over the disappointment that I was not being offered a FREE radio code, and checking other code providers who charged more, I opted to go for the £9.99 (not free) code. It arrived immediately and worked a treat. Thanks. A full disclosure might get you more business….

Change your name

1.They should change the name, they are not free and that is not honest.
2. They should have a faster response. I needed my code quickly.
I asked to cancel payment after a few hours and still no code. I found another quicker source.
Many hours later the correct code was offered, but not required. 30 hours later they said they had cancelled the payment.
