If you could send me the code, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks,

Hi, I have a 1999 Boxter, and need the code for my radio after a dead battery.

4462

15n88037

i think that’s the serial number. The third number/letter looks like an upside down capital U, so the only thing I could guess was an n. If you have a better guess, let me know.

 

thanks,

blayne

Did you use the procedure in the Lost Radio Code FAQ to get your serial number?

If not, please do so and re-submit. Thanks.

I have a 99 Boxster base model. I had to disconnect the battery so I did the trick to find the code-

-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.took pictures

 

Going through the cycle with the right knob, it showed me:

 

BECKER 1

TYPE 4462

SER: X5021117

48/98

GAL: 00

AUX OFF

CDP2081

 

After reconnecting the battery, I turned on the radio and it told me to enter the code, so I entered 4898. Then the readout said WAIT and still does, after leaving it for 10 minutes, driving it, turning it off and on again, etc. Then I looked under the frunk and saw handwritten on the paper sticker "Radio 5430." Couldn't figure out how to re-enter a code, so I disconnected the battery for half an hour, and when I reconnected the battery, the readout still says WAIT. Do I keep waiting, and till what? If I can override with the new code, how do I do that? Thanks!

From the Lost Radio Code FAQ... "I get a WAIT on the display - what do I do?
You have to wait at least 30 minutes before trying again."

 

Then try 5430

Thanks. But I drove the car another 70 or 80 minutes (after posting) and the WAIT never went away. Do I do something to override it? TIA.

DISREGARD! The problem resolved itself. I took a 30 minute drive, and it persisted, then the car sat an hour, and after a 20 minute drive it was ready to take the handwritten frunk code. 
Since 48/98 wasn't the code, can anybody tell me what that and the other bits of information on the display were?

48/98
GAL: 00
AUX OFF
CDP2081
