Lost Radio Code - post your request here


Recommended Posts

Loren,

Which radios does your program support? I just purchased a 2000 Boxster with an aftermarket Eclipse stero that I am not fond of. I want a factory radio. Which is the best factory unit that is supported by your program, as I am looking to buy one off of ebay.

Thank you

Sean

For a 2000 Boxster the best you can do in factory radios is the CDR-220.

All the 986 series (and 996 series) radios are made for Porsche by Becker.

None are very good - but if you want OEM go with the CDR-220.

Thank you for the input, looks like they are pretty cheap on ebay too.

I apologize for the multiple postings. I hope I am posting this in the correct location. I am the second owner of a 99 Boxster. I had to replace the fuel pump. This obviously required the battery to be disconnected. I was not aware of the radio code required. The information from the radio is below.

CDR-220

Becker 1

Serial Number: W5011278

48/98

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Loren,

Thank you very much for the help. Neither 2784 or 2786 worked but 2787 did. It is great to have the radio back.

Now this happened to me as well! I've been dying to post my serial and info in order to try to get a code, but just couldn't find a way to get it. Iit seemed much harder to find info on how to find the serial on the CR-210 without yanking the radio out, as opposed to the other models... I finally did and here is the info on how to retrieve the model and serial:

"For the CR-210:

To get serial #, press tone, then 8&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.

NOTE: When you get the number from your friendly dealer, (he gave me mine free) and you enter it in place of C O D E, the first number will blink as if your number is wrong. Press the station up arrow on the right to go to a station. Voila!"

Hope this helps others out.

Here's my info:

Cr-210

Becker

model: R 1996

Serial Number: V5004262

thank you very much for any help.

Joe

wow, thanks for posting so quickly Loren. Unfortunately, 9006 and 9008 didn't work... I threw in 9010 just for giggles and no go as well.

The programs response to your serial number was 9008.

But history has told us that the program is sometimes off by 2 numbers. More recently we have see it be off a few numbers.

Thank you again Loren, so far I've tried 9004, 9006, 9008, 9010, 9012...and have been locked out with "wait" once, but if I leave the key on for an hour, it goes away and I get to try again. One more try and it's another hour, but maybe I'll go for 9014 :) Is it ever off by ones instead of twos?
