How to find my radio code.
Hi guys it's been two years since i have had my radio working because i take battery out of car for the winter and store in warm area. I don't listen to the radio that often car sounds so good. But spring is here in the north east and thinking go this summer with some music. Question is how do i find my radio code? and how do i enter it into radio. Thank's car is a 1998 S.

I got mine from the local dealer. I had to go there, take the radio out (to get some numbers off the back) and prove that I owned the car.
It was a bunch of years ago, and I don’t remember, but I think it took them a few days to get it to me. No charge for that.
If it’s a CR-1, I think you hold down that ‘Band’ selector for two seconds and ‘Code’ will appear on the display.

If you google ”Becker Radio Code” you’ll find a lot of ways to get it for a small fee. But I agree that you can probably get it for free at the dealer.
You will need to pull the radio which requires keys. They can be purchased at Amazon.

I got mine through user Loren on the RennTech.org community site. Post your model number and serial number and he'll get you the 4-digit code for free. You'll need to sign up if you're not a member.

If you are not the original owner of the car, check any documentation that came with it. The radio code may be written down in the owners manual (or radio manual) somewhere and I have seen some cars where the radio code was written on the build sticker inside the frunk lid. HTH!

Open the ash tray, and pull down the metal spring-loaded flap at the inside top. Some cars have the radio code on a sticker on this flap.
Otherwise, look in the documents that came with the car for a business-card size piece of card stock with a number printed on it.

Loren will give you an answer before breakfast, if you ask him tonight. He should be your FIRST resort.

For my car, I must go up in the attic and fish around for a Clarion aftermarket radio box where within I will find an old Porsche branded radio-cassette player with model and serial numbers on it. The next time I look for it. it will be to throw it into the frunk when the next owner of my car drives it away, maybe when I'm dead and my son will have to toss it in there for me. Another instructional item to add to my will.

Does anyone know if there is a way to make a working radio display its code? Mine is fine, but there will come a day when the battery will need to be disconnected, and I purchased my 911 with absolutely no service docs, and my user manual belongs to a different 911 VIN. There's a code written in it, but obviously there's no trusting that's correct.
