    I’m sure this topic has been covered more than a few times. I’m having issues on my 2000 2.7 manual Boxster with the LCD readings. I have tried to replace the LCD displays several times and have had poor results. If I buy a used instrument cluster and install it will the odometer read the true miles of the car?  If not how can I get it right?

    You will need to check your state's laws.

    In California you must go to DMV and sign a document stating the "real" mileage and the new mileage on the new/used odometer. Also, stating that you will give this information to any buyer.

  2. CDR-23 (or later):
    These radios do not have a security code - that is, not that the user enters.
    These radios are security tested on the MOST (fiber optic bus) system to see if they are the "programmed" radio. The radios are programmed and recognized by the car’s DME and can only be replaced by a shop with a PST2 or PIWIS. These radios will not request a code when battery power is disconnected.

    Hi Loren,

    Code 9132 didn't work. It's there another code to try?

    I appreciate the help.

     

    From the Lost Radio Code FAQ...

    "The suggested number did not work - what do I do now?
    Most often when the code we give you does not work it is because the serial number came from an old card in the car rather than from the procedure stated above - or a typo in the serial number submitted. Double check the serial number you submitted using the procedure above again.
    If that does not work then you will need to contact a dealer or Becker. Becker charges to look up your code and some dealers also charge.

    Our program works maybe 99.9% of the time but we have no explanation why it doesn't always work."

    From the Lost Radio Code FAQ...

    "Can you give me a code for my PCM?
    These units are manufactured jointly by Siemens and Becker, and the only place where you can get the codes required is from the dealer/OPC. The PCM’s require two codes, the ICS/Siemens code, and a Becker code. The ICS is the first code requested.
    Sorry, the only place you can get a PCM code is from a dealer/OPC."

    Loren,

     

    Sorry for the redundancy with a second post but I just found this topic thread for requesting help with radio codes after I sent a separate message to you earlier. Below is the information in my original post.


    Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

     

    Hello,

    Type: 4462

    Serial #: Y5053833

     

    Thank you!

    Hi Loren. So, my radio says "wait". I disconnected the battery. Once for 2 hrs, then again for overnight. I even pulled it out and unplugged it... Any tips? Also, if I swap the radio for aftermarket while the stock one says wait, will it cause issues? E. G. Is the radio locked or does the lock come from the ECM?

    Thanks for your help.

    Clint

     

    Somebody didn't read the  Lost Radio Code FAQ...

    "I get a WAIT on the display - what do I do?
    You have to wait at least 30 minutes before trying again."
