Upgrade your Uniden Police Scanner at home with DMR/Provoice/NXDN to unlock the full potential of your Uniden scanner!

We will email you the proper codes to unlock these modules within 1-2 Business Days*.

Unlocking your scanner requires you update the firmware of your radio to the latest version to make the DMR, ProVoice, and NXDN features work. After you upgrade the firmware you will see a menu item in the Settings menu that says "Upgrade ProVoice" and "Upgrade DMR/MotoTRBO". If you do not see this menu then the firmware needs to be upgraded.

The firmware update for BCD436HP, BCD536HP, SDS200, and SDS100 scanners are done with the Sentinel software.

Firmware updates for the other models are done at “http://info.uniden.com/UnidenMan4/FirmwareUpdate” replacing with your scanner’s actual model. For example:

http://info.uniden.com/UnidenMan4/BCD325P2FirmwareUpdate

http://info.uniden.com/UnidenMan4/BCD996P2FirmwareUpdate

After the firmware has been updated retrieve the ESN and SUM codes from the scanner. Copy them EXACTLY into the drop-downs above. BOTH codes are required. We are not responsible if you provide the wrong scanner information.

To get your key, you'll need your scanner's Electronic Serial Number (ESN) and Checksum.

Power on your scanner.
Press MENU.
Scroll to SETTINGS, then press E.
Scroll to SEE SCANNER INFORMATION, then press E.
Scroll to FIRMWARE VERSION, then press E.
Write down the digits following SN in the 3rd line, then the 3-character checksum from the 4th line.

* If you cannot physically access your scanner's serial number, Replace the "260" in your ESN with the letter Z. For example: 37926038001234 = 379Z38001234

Notes:

You can order one, two, or all three upgrades for each radio.
Upgrades will work only on the radio they were purchased for and are not transferrable to another radio.
If you upgrade the firmware or reprogram the radio after the upgrade the DMR and ProVoice functions will remain on the radio, they will not be erased.
Upgrade keys will be sent to the customer via email. Please be sure you provide a proper email address. Be sure to check your spam or junk mailboxes as sometimes these replies are falsely flagged as spam.
