Lost Radio Code - post your request here

Hi Loren,

I have a 2004 S with a CDR230 with Bose. I'm thinking of sending the unit back to Becker in order to have a 3.5mm aux port installed.for the iTouch

Will I need a radio code for installation when the unit is returned?

From the Lost Radio Code FAQ...

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.

New user and Porsche owner. Bought a 1999 996 a few weeks ago. Disconnected battery to replace the steering gear (steering rack). When I powered up, the radio was locked. I cannot fin the code in the car anywhere.

Hi Loren,

I bought a used Porsche CD-2 radio for my 944 and there was no code.

Serial number: PO CD-2 W 12 11045

8 12 11045

Thanks in advance.

Does this radio require a 4 digit code or 5 digit?

I'm not sure, is there any way to tell?

This radio is not on our list because I am not familiar with it.

Can you post a photo of the front control panel and the serial number sticker?

The serial code is engraved at the back.

The radio is identical to this one.

Loren, 4704 worked. Thank you. I had the "wait" display from entering the wrong code in a few times. Drove the car around (about and hour) until the radio reset, entered code, all good.

I will man-up and contribute.

Regards,

Jay
