Tired of looking for radio codes

Hi, this is my first time posting on here. My wife's 2000S had a dead battery and now, with the new battery installed, the radio won't work. Not cool.

It apparently wants a code entered, but where in the car's manual does it show you the freakin' code? How do I get this mysterious code?

Thank you,

Sarah's Tool

Its a bit of a wait and if you leave it on continuously without shutting it off in between it will reset faster most of the time.
I'd be curious what code they gave you??? There are two codes that come up for that unit (like so many others)... 1st choice is 9438 and 2nd choice is 9336... the first one will probably work.

Well the code usually comes on a little radio card that comes with the radio, or in a few cases I've seen it stuck under the front or rear trunk lids by the dealers.
Anyhow if you do the following you can get the code as well....
Then msg me the serial and I can get you a code.

CR-220/CDR-220:
Turn off radio.
Hold down the TP button for at least 10 seconds.
Turn the radio on. "Becker 1" will be displayed.
Rotate the right knob slowly, as it will display the Becker model number.
Rotate again and radio serial number will display on radio display.

CR-210:
Press tone button then 8 and 0 simultaneously and "Becker" appears.
Press station up arrow on right, "PR-VERS" appears.
Press one of the numbered buttons below display, directly below the LCD arrowheads.
The model number will appear.
Press station button up arrow on right until, "SERIAL N" appears.
Press the numbered button again.
The serial number will appear.
