Was working fine of course till the battery removal. Previous owner did not write it in the manual... Following your radio I.D. recovery procedure I've gotten the following: CDR 220  Type 4362  and serial # 15004832. Hope you can help. Thank you in advance. The radio code is the most important item for me at this time.

Loren, First, thank you for the quick reply. Went to garage to put in code. Turned key on, radio power on, and get the same "wait" message. Now my question is this: does the half hour, or 1 hour internal radio timer begin while radio is powered on, or even if it is powered off? The reason i am being precise to this question is because 4 or 5 days ago when i tried a random (0000,1234) code i got the "wait" message. I turned the power off to the radio and have not had it on since. Last night based on your advice I powered radio on, wait message was still on the face, held TP button for 10 seconds and finally the wait went away and I was able to get you the radio i.d. So should i power it on during my driving around today and will the wait go away or is there another procedure i can follow to get rid of the wait and the code prompt to come on the radio dial?

Hey Loren,

 

I'm new to the boards and a car new to me.  It needs a radio code.  Becker CR 220.  Type 4362.  Ser # W5007674.

 

Can you assist?

 

Thanks!

Got it! your code worked instantly!!! :jump:  Thank you!  :notworthy:

I guess I answered my own question from above on:   How do I get rid of the wait message

So here is a little help for the rest of your members having the same "wait" message.

Know that the radio must remain on for about an hour before the "wait" goes away and the stars show up to input your code.

By wait I mean driving and stopping, or sitting with key on: Radio still has to be on power.

I drove for a few weeks with the radio off, and every time I tried it on, the "wait" was still there, so I turned radio off right away thinking there must be some different code to enter to get rid of it.

So not knowing what i am telling you now, i would turn radio off and wait till the next time.

Bottom line leave your radio on while driving, and after an hour while you stop and go doing your chores with your car, the code input screen will come on.

The second you input your 4th digit radio goes on! Pretty satisfying.

Hope this helps...
