resetting radio
 

does anyone have the radio lock code and info. required to reset the radio when the battery is reconnected?

im going to install rear speakers.

thank you in advance.

If you PM me with the serial #, I have the software to decipher the code.

:cheers:

Do you need the serial # of the radio to get me the code?

I also thought that the user could change codes if they wanted. I have a buddy of mine that recently purchased a 99' and has tried all sorts of translated codes that should have worked, but do not. Is there a code that is always, always embeded in the unit no matter what?

Interesting.

Yes, you need the serial #.

To get the serial number, power up the unit and hold down the "TP" button for 10 seconds. The unit will beep once, use the knob to scroll over a few times and you'll see a seven digit number, preceded by a letter - that's the ser.#

Cheers!

I dont have the 2 knob stereo. Is there something else I need to do to get that # for you? My stereo has the up/down buttons on both ends.

You don't have a button marked 'TP'?

Well, if you use a couple radio keys (absent the keys, a couple paperclips may work), you can slide the unit partially out of the console and the ser# is on a sticker on the bottom.

Cheers!

No... the code is hard wired to the chassis. It cannot be changed.

Cheers!

FYI. sounds like you have the CDR 210.

THere should be instructions here for the different radio types.

OK, I am ready to do this but I need HELP. I have looked at the previous link but this does not seem to work. I have the CDR-210 stereo. Serial # is on the back of the faceplate (I think) and so I need to know how to get the code from here. I tried what was on the previous link and could not seem to figure it out. I didnt get home from the airport until 1am and tried it then. Maybe too long of a day or something, but I have the new bracket for behind the airbag so I need to get the code. Thanks in advance to all for your help.

Anybody that can help with a code?? I have tried a few that I have found online and have had no luck. Please let me know what information I need to get to somebody and I will do that asap.

SEND ME THE SERIAL # AND I CAN GIVE YOU THE CODE!

SERIAL # IS ON A STICKER ON THE BOOTOM OR BACK OF THE UNIT!

USE RADIO KEYS OR PAPERCLIPS TO PULL THE UNIT FROM THE CENTER CONSOLE AND PM ME.

Cheers!

Recovering Radio Code
 

The following online decoder allowed me to recover my radio code without pulling the radio. Very nice!

I tried entering a couple of codes, now my head unit won't even turn on. Is there a special sequence of buttons I need to push?

Thanks,

More than a couple maybe. After 4 attempts, the radio goes into shutdown mode for 1 hour as a security precaution. It'll allow you acess again after that time.

Cheers!

I was hoping that was the case, but unfortunately it isn't. It hasn't powered up for a couple of weeks now and I've disconnected the battery for over 30 minutes.

thanks,

Radio will not power up
 

There is a fuse on the back of the radio. You need a set of becker radio pullers to remove the radio.

I need to find out how I can reset my radio on my boxster I have the serial number can some one help

The battery in my 99 Boxter was disconnected for service. Now the radio won't power up at all so there is no way to input my code. Any ideas? I do know the code. I don't know if this matters, but the face plate was not attached when the battery was disconnected. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Check fuses. There's one at the back of the unit too. At least the 220's have one, so I assume the 210s do as well.

check the fuse on the back of the radio, meter the power from theconnector

to reset the radio code go to :

Porsche Resetting Radio Codes

If you still have a problem, post the radio serial number and I will generate the code, but try it on your own first!

I too had lost my radio code. Per this and other threads, I tried the Porsche Resetting Radio Codes site that JayG and some others had mentioned. As like many others, I couldn't get the application on that website to run. So I had to load Java (just Google java download to get the the Java website for free download) but even then the application would not run due to security setting errors (the problem is the site uses an old version of Java and uses a self signed certicate which Java by default blocks). To get the application to run, you have to reconfigure your Java settings: Open Java configuration, go to security tab, add the website address (Porsche Resetting Radio Codes) to the exception list. The application should then run (refresh the site first). You'll get a couple of warnings from Java but just acknowledge them and the application should load.
