The hard way is to pull out the radio unit if you have the release keys for the slots
The easier way is to do this.....

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.

Thank you! This is what I got..

Serial # Y5024058
Type 4362
It also has 24/99 on one of the screens.

Is there someone on here that can use that to get me a code?

Also when I turn on the radio, at least last night, it states "wait" - Where does it ask you for the code? Any help appreciated!

Thanks, Rob

Radio code reset-- WAIT code not going away

I have a 99 Boxster base model. I had to disconnect the battery so I did the trick to find the radio code-

-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.took pictures

Going through the cycle with the right knob, it showed me:

BECKER 1
TYPE 4462
SER: X5021117
48/98
GAL: 00
AUX OFF
CDP2081

After reconnecting the battery, I turned on the radio and it told me to enter the code, so I entered 4898. Then the readout said WAIT and still did, after leaving it for 10 minutes, driving it, turning it off and on again, etc. Then I looked under the frunk and saw handwritten on the paper sticker "Radio 5430." Couldn't figure out how to re-enter a code, so I disconnected the battery for half an hour, and when I reconnected the battery, the readout still said WAIT. Drove it for 80 or 90 minutes, and the WAIT never went away. Loren said you have to wait 30 minutes before trying again, but will it prompt me to re-enter a code, or is there a way for me to override the WAIT?

Thanks!

DISREGARD! The problem resolved itself. I took a 30 minute drive, and it persisted, then the car sat an hour, and after a 20 minute drive it was ready to take the handwritten frunk code.

Since 48/98 wasn't the code, can anybody tell me what that and the other bits of information on the display were:

48/98
GAL: 00
AUX OFF
CDP2081

According to your serial the code should be either 4430 or 4330 (try 4430 1st)

Thanks. Perhaps that was the original. This car has a slightly confusing history, with seats, ignition key, entry keys, and radio taken out and put back in early on, so it might not be the original radio. (I looked under the frunk and saw handwritten on the paper sticker "Radio 5430.")

Trying codes list here are specific to the radio's Serial so that wont work.
Try 2837 and if that doesn't work try 2836
