Went through the entire internet to find my code when that happened to me. After I got the code, I popped the frunk for some reason and lo and behold. Hand written on some sticker was the code.

I would advise everybody to do the same.

don't think so.
I have had the battery off mine more times than i care to count... and for long periods.

Every time i put it back on - radio does not need a code and my pre-set stations are still there.

I read that the radio knows which chassis number it belongs to, so when you power it back up after a battery change, it calls the DME and confirms its in the right car. So long as the VIN matches its all good. If not....it locks it out

Hello, new to the Boxster (had 964s prior to this) and I need a code for my replacement CDR 220

Serial number is 15003770.

Is there a charge for this and how do I pay?

Thanks

OOps, found my previous post sorry for the repeat!

8928 should do the trick.
