Lost Radio Code - post your request here
MetaChimp replied to pennyporsche's topic in Lost Radio Codes
Did you read the FAQ? You have to wait 1 hour - with the radio on and ignition switch on (or the car running). Yes Sir, I did read the FAQ. I was asking if there is a way to try multiple codes while AVOIDING the 1 hour lockout. I think I found it! 3 false tries locks me out for 1 hour. So here's what I do: 1. Try two different codes, then remove my keys and wait for the unit to power off 2. Re-insert my key, and the unit says "WAIT". 3. Wait 5 minutes, with the key in the ignition 4. Code entry screen returns! 5. Repeat step 1. So I kept trying 2 new codes every 5 minutes (better than waiting 1 hour between every 3 tries). I tried: 2466, 2468, 2469, 2470, 2472, 3468, 3470, 1468, 1470. The magic number was 2471! So it was 1 number away from the suggestion (rather than 2, as stated in the FAQ). I posted my "retry" process here in hopes that it will help others, and contribute to this great community! Feel free to add it to the FAQ if you see fit. It greatly speeds up the trial & error process =) i promised $10. PM an email address to send it to, or I would be happy to contribute it to this forum. Your call. THANK YOU, again! -

Try 2470 or 2468 Thank you for the fast reply! I tried the codes and it locked me out with the "WAIT". So now do I have to wait for an hour before trying a few variants? Or is there another way to enter multiple codes without being locked out? Like try one, then turn the car off and remove the keys before trying a second variant? Anything like that? thank you! -

Hello! This is my first post here, as I'm a new (and very happy) Porsche owner. My 2001 Boxster S had some work done, and now the stereo needs a code, and the previous owner apparently lost the card. My Porsche has the premium sound with the DSP, if that makes a difference. Becker 1 Type 4362 Ser: Y5023286 24/99 I'll PayPal $10 to anyone's email address who can send me the code by 430pm (EST) today, as I have a first date tonight, and would love to have the stereo working =) Thank you!
