2002 Radio code?
#5
hmmmmm.... I went to my local dealer, gave them my vin and they printed out NAV, RADIO and more codes that I didnt know existed.... (maybe for piwis?)... all for FREE. My jaw dropped, took the piece of paper and ran.

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

When I got my 00C2 it came with an after market denon. Only the dash speakers are working and I want to get a becker CR-220. What should I look out for if im getting a used one? codes and stuff? Sorry for the hijack.

You also might want to keep the Denon because the Becker's really do suck.
I was very happy when I replaced it.

You're being kind Marc....Beckers suck to the 3rd power!
