The Ultimate List: All Working Cheat Codes For Midnight Club LA (Including The Secret $4.2M Code)
Are you looking to dominate the streets of Los Angeles without the grind? As of December 21, 2025, the world of *Midnight Club: Los Angeles* remains a beloved classic, and while the original console version (PS3/Xbox 360) is notorious for having very few traditional cheats, a recent discovery has changed everything for fans of the portable version, *L.A. Remix*. This comprehensive guide breaks down the true cheat codes, the powerful collectible exploits, and all the unlockables you need to become the ultimate street racer.
The core difference lies between the main console game and its PSP counterpart. The original PS3 and Xbox 360 releases rely heavily on in-game achievements and collectible hunting for major rewards, but the *L.A. Remix* version was found to have a hidden set of text-based cheat codes that grant instant access to cash, vehicles, and more—a discovery that sent ripples through the racing game community even years after its release. We'll show you exactly how to use both sets of codes.

The Secret Text Cheats: Midnight Club L.A. Remix (PSP)
The biggest news for *Midnight Club* fans in recent years was the discovery of a complete set of text-based cheat codes hidden within the code of the PSP version, *Midnight Club: L.A. Remix*. These codes are entered directly into the game's cheat menu and provide massive advantages, from instant money to unlocking every vehicle and part. If you are playing the PSP version, these are the codes you need.
How to Enter Text Cheats (L.A. Remix):
In the main menu, go to "Options" and then select "Cheat Codes" to input the following words.
| Cheat Code | Effect / Description |
|---|---|
| CASH | Instant $4,200,000 in-game money. This is the ultimate money cheat. |
| ALL | Unlocks everything in the game: all cars, all parts, and all cities. |
| CARS | Unlocks all vehicles in the game. |
| PARTS | Unlocks all car parts for customization. |
| CITIES | Unlocks all cities and areas on the map. |
| CONFIDENTIAL | Unlocks all Arcade Mode content. |
| MMMUNGO | Grants stronger special ability effects. |
| RAGEVIRUS | Agro ability on all eligible vehicles. |
Note: Some sources also mention "GOTCASH" as an alternative for the money cheat, but "CASH" is the more widely confirmed word for the $4.2 million unlock. This set of codes is a game-changer for anyone revisiting the PSP version.
The Ultimate Console Cheat: Collectible Race Editor Trick (PS3/Xbox 360)
For players on the PlayStation 3 (PS3) and Xbox 360, traditional cheat codes like the ones above do not exist. Instead, the game rewards players for finding hidden barrels (collectibles) scattered across the Los Angeles map. However, there is a powerful, little-known exploit that functions as a major shortcut, essentially a "cheat" to find all the collectibles quickly.
This trick allows you to instantly create a race route that leads directly to up to 30 uncollected barrels, drastically cutting down on the time required to earn the best in-game rewards like Unlimited Nitro and No Police.
The Collectible Finder Glitch:
- Go to the main menu and select the Race Editor.
- Once in the editor, press START to switch to the overhead map view (Layout Mode).
- Immediately enter the following button sequence:
PS3 Controller Code:
L1, L2, L3 (Left Stick Click), R1, R3 (Right Stick Click), X
Xbox 360 Controller Code:
LB, LT, L3 (Left Stick Click), RB, R3 (Right Stick Click), A
If entered correctly, the game will automatically place checkpoints on the map, forming a race that guides you to 30 of the closest collectibles you haven't yet found. Simply save the race, exit the editor, and then test the race to collect the barrels. Repeat this process until all barrels are collected to unlock the most powerful rewards.
Rockstar Unlockables: Rewards for Collecting Barrels
The primary "cheats" in the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions are the Rockstar Unlockables, which are permanent modifiers that significantly alter the gameplay experience. These are earned by collecting the hidden barrels (collectibles) across the city. There are a total of 60 barrels to find.
The rewards are cumulative, meaning you keep all previous unlocks as you hit the next threshold. This system encourages exploration and mastery of the Los Angeles map.
| Barrels Collected | Reward Unlocked | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| 10 Barrels | Unlimited Nitro | Grants infinite use of your car's Nitro boost, a massive performance advantage. |
| 20 Barrels | Never Damage Out | Your vehicle will never be totaled, eliminating the need for repairs. |
| 30 Barrels | Unlimited Special Abilities | Infinite use of your car's Special Ability (Zone, Agro, etc.). |
| 40 Barrels | Top-Down View | Unlocks a retro, overhead camera view. |
| 50 Barrels | No Police | Police will no longer chase or fine you, allowing for completely unrestricted driving. |
| 60 Barrels | No Fines | You will no longer be fined for traffic violations or crashes (redundant if No Police is active, but completes the set). |
Using the Collectible Race Editor Trick is the fastest way to acquire these powerful, permanent cheats on your PS3 or Xbox 360 copy of *Midnight Club: Los Angeles*.
Other Unlockables and Entity Integration
Beyond the core cheats, *Midnight Club: Los Angeles* has several other unlockables that function like rewards for completing specific challenges. These require skill and dedication but are worth the effort for completionists and dedicated street racers.
- Hydraulics and Air Bags: These customization options are unlocked by linking your Gamertag or PSN ID to the Rockstar Social Club and completing four of the twelve "Driving Test" achievements. This is a great way to add unique flair to your favorite Muscle Cars and Lowriders.
- Blowers: To unlock the Blower customization parts, you must successfully complete 45 races with a vehicle from a specific class (e.g., Sport Bikes, Tuners, Exotics).
- Tires and Rims: New tire and rim sets are unlocked by winning races in different vehicle classes. The game features a wide array of manufacturers, including Lamborghini, Ducati, Mitsubishi, and Chevy.
- Special Abilities: The four main Special Abilities (Zone, Agro, Roar, EMP) are unlocked automatically as you progress through the main Career Mode and defeat key rivals like Booke and Lydia.
Whether you're looking for the instant gratification of the $4.2 million money cheat on the PSP or the permanent power of Unlimited Nitro and No Police on the consoles, these codes and tricks ensure your time in the virtual Los Angeles is fast, furious, and completely unrestricted. Enjoy tearing up the streets in your fully customized Supercar or Motorcycle!
