Radio code
You think you can help me get the code for my radio??? I have a Becker 1
CDR 220
model BE 4462
serial number Y5051133
CDR 220
model BE 4462
serial number Y5051133
First way, this a a copy and paste from Renntech, I should have mention this, sorry Loren.
How to get your radio serial number?
CR-220/CDR-220:
Hold down the TP button for at least 10 seconds after you turn the radio on. "Becker 1" will be displayed. Rotate the right **** (slowly) and it will display the Becker model number. Then rotate it again and the serial number should be displayed on the radio.
Or, if the radio is out of the car the then the serial number is on the label.
CR-210:
Press tone, then 8 and 0 simultaneously. "Becker" appears. Press station up arrow on right. "PR-VERS" appears. Press one of numbered buttons below display, directly below the LCD arrowheads (try a few). The model number will appear. Press station up arrow on right. "SERIAL N" will appear. Press the numbered button again. The serial number will appear.
Or, if the radio is out of the car the then the serial number is on the label.
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. Only a dealer or shop with a PST2 or PIWIS tester can replace a MOST bus radio (i.e. CDR-23, CDR-24).
I get a WAIT in the display - what do I do?
You have to wait 1 hour - with the radio on and ignition switch on (or the car running).
Neither of the suggested numbers worked - what do I do now?
My program does not always work. It works maybe 95% of the time but I have no explanation why it doesn't always work.
You can try 2 digits different each time (and sometime that works). So if your code is 1013 - then try codes 2 digits different from that code (i.e. 1011, 1009, 1015, 1017. etc.)
If that does not work then you will need to contact a dealer or Becker. Becker charges to look up your code and some dealers do too.
If you have the becker deck removal keys remove the deck, serial number on the back
Becker Serial Number Location Guide
The first step is to remove your becker car radio from the car, you will then be able to locate the unique serial number required for decoding by inspecting the top and right hand side of the radio.
A typical example of becker numbers are as follows :
Type 1 has a split becker model and serial number such as
Model : BE0837 - Serial : Y1245784
Model : BE1122 - Serial : Y7654321
Type 2 has the becker serial number and model combined to form the complete serial number
Serial : BE411021234567
Serial : BE1234Y1234567
I have a key gen for becker, if you post the serial number, I'll generate a code for you, but no garantee if the code will work, I have a spare CDR-220 deck that the key gen did not work and called Becker, and the tech there gave me the code free

Hi how to I get the code for a cr-220 that is not that original radio
[QUOTE=Dennis C;7193842]It is worth a try. In my case, it didn't work. I called Becker directly. They no longer give the codes out for free. I believe they charged me $20 to look it up.[/QUO

996 radio code
As I am new to this forum I'm not sure I am posting to the correct page....so, sorry if I have made a mistake and would appreciate if someone could either direct me to the appropriate page or simply answer my question.
I have a 2001 996 I purchased late last year.....seller did not have any owners manuals including the radio code. I had to have a couple of repairs done and the the battery was disconnected. Now I need the radio code. I have the radio serial number and VIN. Is there a way to get the code on this website or can someone provide me with the code? The radio is a CDR 220 and the serial number is 15063499, type 4462. Thanks.
