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.

Okay, that is for the carpet trim not the tail light.

Hi Lauren.

I previously posted, and it looks like I had a number one off in the serial number. Can we try again please?

 

Becker CDR 210

Type BE 2232

Serial # U5011528

 

My apologies, I appreciate what you do.

Clint

Try 9124

I don't know for sure but I doubt it.

The CDR-23 and newer radios all use the MOST fiber optics to speakers and amps. As well they talk on the car's CAN system to the DME which is where you enter the serial number info.

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."

Loren.. Happy New Year, hope all is well.. appreciate your help for a code on the following :

 

1999 996

CDR-220

Serial number X5013849

 

Thanks..

Try 6464

The 02 is for MY2000 and newer and has a seperate listing in PET so there is a difference likely something to do with the new DME that year.

Thanks, I'll buy it then.  I read earlier about the difference in the Fuel Clock between c2 and c4 and this is where I am most concerned.

It will require recalibration regardless of which cluster is used. The difference on the C4 is the saddle bag fuel tank (due to front wheel drive geometry).

Good Day please could someone assist me with the radio code for my 996 911 turbo

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.

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."

How did u fix u problem ? 

A double beep means that there is an alarm fault that can not be reset. You need to read the fault codes for the alarm system to location the problem sensor or control box.
