Re: Need code for bmw radio F4051747313 dealer wants...
Only a BMW dealer can look up the code. Of course, charging you for this is ridiculous. It takes a few seconds and costs the dealer nothing. I would try another dealer.

You'll need the vin from the 740il or perhaps a code on the radio or even the s/n ?n the radio and a dealer can help you. You may have to indicate to the dealer the radio wasn't stolen/hot.
TURN OFF RADIO FIRST BEFORE DISCONNECTING THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE BUT.THATS NO GUARANTEE YOU WILL LOSE RADIO CODE I WOULD TRY TO USE A BACK UP MEMORY SAVER YOU PLUG IN THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER BUT NO GOOD IF CAR GOING TO BE DOWN LONG.TIME BECAUSE THE MEMORY SAVER BATTERY WILL GET WEAK YOURE IN TROUBLE.BMW WARNS IF YOU DISCONNECT BATTERY CABLES YOU WOULD LOSE HEATING COOLING CLIMATE CONTROL.YOU ALSO WILL LOSE FUNCTION TO WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WASHER , CENTRAL LOCKING AND THEFT SYSTEM CONTROL.
If this is the origianal radio that came with the car, go to your local BMW dealer with proof of ownership and they will help you for a small fee. You can also go on line and with the details of the radio make and serial number taken of the lable on the radio, the same info can be obtained again for a small fee. Type in "car radio security code" in your search engine. Personally I would go to your dealer.
First make sure that the code has not been noted somewhere within the car (underneath the ash tray, glove box , rear of sun visor etc)
To see if your code is available here for free then the radio will have to be removed from the dashboard (and if you are lucky, someone may have written the code on the casing ) .
If not then POST ANOTHER QUESTION
quoting the radio MAKE+MODEL plus ALL the LETTERS+NUMBERS on ANY LABELS ,BARCODES or STAMPED IN THE METAL CASING
Also quote the MAKE of CAR
note: Unfortunately not all radios can be decoded using the Serial Number
If not then try your Main Dealer ...........or take it into a Decode Service who will plug in a laptop to read/recode the memory chip (EEPROM). This takes a few minutes and shouldn`t be too expensive
You will need to take your registration for the car and ID with you for proof of ownership with you to the dealership.
Take the headset to my BMW dealer and verify that you own this radio and then, they will look for the unlock code on their computers, of course after getting a specific serial # that’s placed on the back of the radio.
If the radio is displaying code wait, or wait, then the ignition and radio must remain on for 1hour. I would contact a dealer within the USA and provide them with your radio serial number. The serial number can be displayed in the radio by pressing and holding down the "M" button while turning on the ignition.
you will have to take the car to the dealer. upon showing proof of ownership they can retrieve the code. if you know the dealer that sold the car new they may have it on file. if not they will have to remove the radio and use the serial number off it to go onto their computer database to get it. I think its really silly to have security codes on factory radios.
