Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello, I have a 1998 C2. The stereo is a Becker single din cd radio with a tape behind the facia. I swapped the battery, now it is asking for a code. There is nothing in the paperwork. Nor is there a sticker with the serial number or any identifying info on the head unit. I have a replacement head unit that can go in whilst I try and sort it, however, the plugs for I presume the speakers are unlike anything I have seen. It has the dsp sound thing. Is there an adaptor I can use to plug the existing harness into the rear of the replacement stereo? Daughters prom Friday, suddenly realised stereo not playing Any ideas help would be gratefully received.

POST 2Original post

Search "Missing radio code 986" on the forum and contact Richard Hamilton who works out the code from the serial number and hopefully he'll tell you how to find the serial number. The 4 digit radio code comes on a credit card sized card with the original owners pack

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, thanks for that. I'll do it now. There is no serial number on the head unit though. Much appreciated

POST 4Original post

Here is how to get the serial number: 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. Post the serial number here, and I'll get you the code.

Thank you so much, all working. Friday afternoon will be a Taylor Swiftathon.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
