Lost Radio Code - post your request here


Recommended Posts

Hi again.

 

Can you remind me of the instructions for how to get the serial number out of the radio interface?

 

I got a code of this thread a couple of months ago for my brother while he was driving a 1999 Boxster he had bought from Seattle to Austin -- didn't need the radio 'til he got to Texas state line as the terrain til that point, plus the car, kept him entertained.

 

He left me the car for a week while he was out of town.

 

I liked it so much I bought one myself (2000 Blue/Tan).

 

Radio is working but it has the infamous airbag grommet issue, and to fix it, I have to disconnect battery (or risk an airbag in the face).

 

Just thinking ahead (not my usual MO).

Hi Loren,

 

I was hoping you could help me with the code for this radio (i know the last digit is 6).

 

Thanks!

It is always best to use the procedure in the Lost Radio Code FAQ as serial numbers change when radios are repaired.

We'll take a chance that your radio has not been repaired... try 5496

Loren,

 

It is a replacement unit but 5496 worked.

 

Thanks again!

Hey all , 2000 boxster 

disconnected battery trying to reset air bag light. Radio locked now

 

Help me out please 

s/n : Y5042757

 

thank you! 

 

Try 2434

 

You will need a Porsche specific scan tool (like Durametric) to reset airbag codes. Of course, the fault needs to be corrected first.
