Your radio
Last four digits of the serial
Just the last four digits. That is all we need.
Where do I find the serial number?
The serial is on the same label, next to Serial-No. If a digit is hard to read, photograph the label and zoom in. A misread digit gives a code that will not work.

About the Becker BE2010
The BE2010 is a Becker cassette radio that Mercedes-Benz sold as the Classic, under Mercedes part number A 003 820 62 86. Like every Becker unit, it asks for its anti-theft code once it has lost power, for example after a battery change or after the radio was taken out.
Its code is not a four digit number. It is a sequence of 5 presses on the station preset buttons, using buttons 1 to 4, so a four digit code from a forum or a code generator will never work on it.
How to tell it is a BE2010
Go by the model number on the label, not the name on the front. Several Becker radios were sold as the Classic, including the BE1150, the BE1151 and the BE2011, and each is a separate model with its own codes.
Where to find the serial number
The serial is on the label on the radio housing, next to Serial-No., on the same label as the model number. We only need its last four digits. If a digit is hard to read, photograph the label and zoom in: a misread digit gives a code that will not work.
Checking for your code
Enter the last four digits of the serial in the form above. The check is free and tells you straight away whether your code is on record. If it is, you pay once and the code is emailed to you automatically, usually within minutes of payment, at any hour. If it is not, you pay nothing.
Entering the code
When the radio needs its code, the display shows CODE. Enter the numbers from your email on the preset buttons 1 to 4, one press per number, in the order shown, then confirm the code. Owners report different confirm keys on Classic radios depending on the version, so if yours does not start straight away, check the operating instructions for your unit before trying anything else.
If the code is not accepted
Stop and contact us rather than trying other codes. After repeated wrong entries a Becker radio shows WAIT and refuses new attempts for a while. The lockout only counts down while the radio is switched on, so leave it on until the message clears. If the code we sent does not work, we refund you.
Bluetooth for the Classic
If you would rather have music streaming in an original looking dash, we also sell the BE2010 with a Bluetooth retrofit.
BE2010 radio code questions
Is there a Becker BE2010 code calculator?
No. Becker codes are not worked out from the serial number by a formula. They were assigned and recorded, so getting your code means looking it up against your serial number, which is what the check above does.
Is the radio code the same as the unlock code or security code?
Yes. Radio code, unlock code, security code and anti-theft code all mean the same thing here: the button sequence tied to your radio's serial number.
What if you do not have my code?
Then the check tells you so before you pay, and you pay nothing.
