Good afternoon!  

 

I replaced the battery on my '99 911 and, of course, the radio requires the code.  I've got the serial number and model # listed below.  Someone help, please!  

 

Becker CDR-220

 

Serial #:  X5024699

Model #:  4462

 

Please let me know if other information is required. Thank you!

Sorry, stupid question - are these the correct steps to get the serial number for the radio? This is for a CDR23

  • Turn off radio.

  • Hold down the TP button for at least 10 seconds.

  • Turn the radio on. "Becker 1" will be displayed.

  • Rotate the right knob slowly, as it will display the Becker model number.

  • Rotate again and radio serial number will display on radio display.

Thanks!

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."

Hello Loren.

 

I bought my 996 with the complete set of papers. Including the PCM radio card from Becker. Now I have changed the battery and the PCM will have the radio code. OK, I have a look on the Becker radio card but only the model and the serial number is on it.

 

No code, OK, I called the Porsche dealer and he told me the code. It was the origin code but my seller told me the PCM was changed and the new code was not updated in the data set from Porsche dealer. 

 

Now I have the Becker data and hope you can generate the code. 

 

Here the data:

Porsche 911 996 Carrera 4
HSN/TSN 0583/461
Day of first licence plate:  28.06.2001
VIN: WP0ZZZ99Z1S644531
 
Becker Ident card data:
Model. CDC-3
Serial No. 11090316
 
Many thanks for your support.
 
Cheers

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."
