It's astounding how many people need codes. And now, me too! The '98 I just bought appears to be all original and the code is written several places in the owner's manual and in the radio manual......but I've tried everything you've recommended multiple times. Time to validate the code.

Thanks in advance!

Just got a great deal on a 2000 Boxster S. But as it was looked over by a mechanic and worked on - no radio code. Great car, but not the same without some music. Would you please assist?

A parking attendent let my 2000 Boxter's battery die. After the battery was recharged I notced the radio was off. I tried to turn it on...nadda. I can't even get to a lost code request as the radio will not even power on, at all...period. Is this something anyone else has experienced? There is nothing I could find in the manual about this issue. Suggestions?

Loren,

I'm really sorry but I just don't see the answer to the question I'm asking in the Q&A page that you provided. I have checked the fuses and they all test fine and don't look to be blown. My uncle suggested that there maybe an internal fuse to the radio or that I need to disconect the battery again. I would just take it to the dealership but I honestly don't have the money to do so. If there is something I can do to fix it I will, but otherwise I'm out radio traffic reports and tunes without some porsche person help. I've never asked a question on here any maybe you think I'm a total blonde idoit...I'm not denying it...I'm just looking for help. :(

If the radio will not come on you should check the fuse panel near the left footwell - check fuse D8.

As I recall there is also a fuse on the back of the radio - but the radio will need to be removed to check this.

If you do not feel comfortable checking these then I suggest a good Porsche independent shop.

Hello Loren,

I am new to this website. I have spent the last two weeks without a radio.

I now know how to get the Serial number.. V5009778

And I also getting a number from prvers from the display Is that the number that I must input as the Four digit Code? And if so, once I punch in those digits, I will not get immediate music and sound? I must wait an hour to get a response. Is this correct? Thank you![

CR-210:

Press tone, then 8 and 0 simultaneously. "Becker" appears. Press station up arrow on right. "PR-VERS" appears. Press one of numbered buttons below display, directly below the LCD arrowheads (try a few). The model number will appear. Press station up arrow on right. "SERIAL N" will appear. Press the numbered button again. The serial number will appear.

Or, if the radio is out of the car the then the serial number is on the label.

1998 Porsche Boxster, with a CDR-210 Radio. Thanks

One other thing you can try is to disconnect the battery, touch the disconnected negative lead to the positive post of the battery. Sometimes these radios are known to "lock up" this usally due to voltage storage in the trisistors of radio and by doing the battery leads this voltage can be eliminated and the radio will work. It is still possible that the fuse is blown in back of radio. Just a side note that using a high amperage battery charger over 50 amps can cause damage to many control units in the Porsche. This battery procedure should be done when any odd occurances are happening with any elctronics in the car. Its amazing how many things this simple thing has fixed. svansyoc

Hi again,

I tried 0517 and 0515 but neither did the trick and the radio went back to "WAIT" . I can try again later but do you have any other numbers I should try?

thanks,

Bob
