New battery and now the radio is displaying CODE.
I don't have the factory manual with the radio code but found this procedure:
CR-210/CDR-210:
Press tone, then 8 and 0 simultaneously. "Becker" appears. Press station up arrow on right. "
PR-VERS" appears. Press one of the numbered buttons below the 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.
I was able to get the following info by following the procedure.
R2896
Serial V5010579
Model is BE22 (1998)
Whenever I enter 2896 for the CODE the first char just starts blinking like it wants
more than 4 characters.
Is there a special button sequence to "save" the code?
What am I doing wrong or does the above info just give you a key to the magic kingdom of CODES?
