The radio will go into wait state and depending how many times you entered the wrong code it could lock you out for a few hours. Just leave the radio powered on and the message will time out.
Try 6949 first and if that fails use 6948

Hi Heiko!
Radio bought from ebay without the code.
Please help me again to decipher the code!

7319 should be the code but in case that doesn't work try 7318

Good morning and Happy Thanksgiving!

Can you help me with getting a code for my CDR 220 please?

Model: BE 4462
Serial: X5027455
Below the bar code: 4462G70X5027455

Thank you.

Happy Thanksgiving Canadian style (in our family we'll do this again the end of Nov...haha)
Good thing because I like turkey :D
Your code should be 7161 and if that doesn't work try 7150
Some of these units come up with two options although the primary one
usually works.

Thanks for the quick reply. I tried both codes, but they didn’t work. Would it make a difference if the radio came from a 996?

No shouldn't make a difference as the headunits are the same...
I just ran your make and serial again and those numbers 7161 or 7150 are correct
according to the code cipher.... everyone once in a while I seem to get a discrepancy. So you may have to contact the dealer for this one...
Sorry, but that's all the info I can get you

Model: BE 4462

Thanks for double-checking. Off to the dealer I go.

Cheers!

Hi Heiko, I am the new guy in the forum.


Please help me unlock my radio after a battery disconnect.

Radio: CDR-220
Type: 4462
Serial 15085976
and something about 24/99

Thanks in advance for your help! Really appreciate you helping everyone in this thread with over 700 posts!

2189 should be your code - if that doesn't work try 1187.
Cheers

Thank you Heiko!!! The code worked for me! I appreciate the help!

Hello all. Am new to the forum. Relatively recently acquired a 2001 986 S. Have been working on getting it road worthy again as past owner left it sitting in his garage for past 3 years. Looking for the radio code for the cdr 220 radio. There is no book with car and not hand written on underside of the frunk and the serial number under the hood is YU663209. Any help would be much appreciated!

I just purchased a 2000 Boxster S. It came with option 696 - CD-radio Becker Porsche CDR-220. Unfortunately the PO replaced the head unit with some crazy Alpine head unit. I'd love to put everything back to stock.

Does anyone have a line on an original Becker CDR-220?

(I didn't read all 11 pages of this thread, sorry if this has been asked/answered)

The code for your radio based on the serial you provided should be '8270'
Cheers
Heiko

Check some of the local classifieds on the forums as well as ebay there is tons of them around. The stock radio doesn't have the greatest features but its nice to keep it all stock :-) Good luck, try to find one without the sticky knob issue - some of the rubber coated buttons go sticky, which is not very nice...

Thank you much Heiko! Will give it a shot this weekend as my car is stored some distance away from me till I have it up and running again. Much appreciated!!
