How To Use Cheats in GTA 4

Activating GTA 4 cheats is as simple as making a phone call. Access Niko's phone (Up on the D-pad or equivalent key), then the keypad (Up again). Dial the code, press Call, and the cheat is activated. Activated cheats are saved under "Cheats" in your phone for easy reactivation.

Is There a Money Cheat in GTA 4?

Unfortunately, GTA 4 lacks a dedicated money cheat. Focus on missions and side jobs for legitimate wealth accumulation.

Cheats Disable Achievements and Trophies

Save your game, close GTA 4, and restart without using cheats to restore achievement/trophy functionality.
