Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Del! I have a Becker decoder which works in about 80% of cases. Email me the last 4 digits of the serial number, and I'll give it a try for you. I assume it is a CR/CDR-22, and you can get the serial number by: 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.

My decoder calculates the radio code as 4106. I have found that this isn't 100% accurate, but the unlock code is usually within 2 of the calculated number. Start by trying 4106 Then try 4108 Then try 4107 If those don't work you will have reached the 3-try limit and will be locked out for about an hour. Then try 4105 And finally 4104 I have also had cases where the code was one digit out in the hundreds. Also, the code is often recorded in the DME (ECU) data as a backup. This can be read with a Porsche tester. If you are anywhere near me (Maidenhead, Berks) I could read out the data for you. If you don't get a result you will have to contact an OPC for the code, which they should be able to provide, but may charge. Good luck, and let us know if you are successful,

Didnt know the code for mine when i bought it. When i removed the radio unit to see if there were any markings on it i found that the previous owner had left the number on the back of the radio. What a surprise!!
