Radio Code

[Hilux2400]

I have a 996 with a Porsche radio. I don't have the radio code. Is the radio code the last 5 digit number that is printed on the body info sticker?

Failing that how do I get the radio serial number? It must be printed somewhere or readable on the radio in some way. However, there is nothing in the radio instructions that tells me about this.

Any advice welcome before I contact Porsche.

Hi Hilux,

You should have a radio key code card in the history file, if not you may need to ring the main dealer.
I doubt it's a five digit number or anything to do with the chassis number, mine's a 4 digit code.

Mine is also in the seperate audio handbook, again in the history file.

Like I say a call to the main dealer with your chassis number would probably see it sorted but there'll probably be a charge.

PS. No-one's scribbled it onto the casing of the stereo in the past then?

Go to the rentech forum - great solutions and helpful posters. Got mine sorted in a few hours.

If you PM me the last 4 digits of the serial number I can decode it for you.

[Hilux2400]

Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately, I cannot download the above box which would allow me access to the radio serial number.

If I get the serial number I will get back to you.

CR-22/CDR-22 - Hold down the TP button for at least 10 seconds after you turn the radio on. "Becker 1" will be displayed. Rotate the right knob (slowly) and it will display the Becker model number. Then rotate it again and the serial number should be displayed on the radio.
Or, if the radio is out of the car the then the serial number is on the label.

CR-21:
Press tone, then 8 and 0 simultaneously. "Becker" appears. Press station up arrow on right. "PR-VERS" appears. Press one of numbered buttons below display, directly below the LCD arrowheads (try a few). The model number will appear. Press station up arrow on right. "SERIAL N" will appear. Press the numbered button again. The serial number will appear.
Or, if the radio is out of the car the then the serial number is on the label.

It's a CDR 23 radio. I have not yet disconnected the battery, or taken the radio out. I just want to be prepared.

I have been reading elsewhere that the code for the CDR 23 radio can only be changed or put in with the aid of OBD equipment, making it vehicle specific. I am right in thinking that this radio obtains its own rolling code from the vehicle ECU? Therefore, if the battery goes dead, or it is disconnected, the radio, like the fuel gauge, just sorts itself out in its own time.

That's makes sense. I've never had to put a code into a CDR-23 radio after a battery disconnect.

It isn't a rolling code, but yes the code is stored in the DME and the code in the radio is compared each time it is powered up. Therefore there is no user-entry code.

[Hilux2400]

That's great news. Thank you all for your comments and that is obviously why I can find no info in the car's documents.
