Lost Radio Code - post your request here

Hi. I sent my 2004 Boxster S Anniv Edition to the shop for some paint. When I got it back the computer and clock were reset. I assume the battery must have died. The stereo does not power on when I hit the power button. Stays dark. Is this a case of needing the code, or is there probably more to it?

This is a CDR23.  Where would I find the serial number, if that is needed?

Please read 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."

Thank you, Loren.  Google led me straight to the forum, missing the FAQ.  Fuses are good, so hopefully it's just the fuse on the back of the radio, if I can figure out how to get *that* out.  Again, thanks for the info.

Please read 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."
