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 Porsche CR-210 (BE2162)

The BE2162 is a Becker radio that Porsche sold as the CR-210. Its code has four digits.

Same name, different versions

Porsche also sold the CR-210 as BE2182. Each version has its own codes, so pick the BE number printed on your label.

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.

Reading the serial without removing the radio

On the CR-210 you can show the serial number in the radio's own menu:

  1. Press the tone button, then press 8 and 0 at the same time. Becker appears.
  2. Press the station up arrow on the right. PR-VERS appears.
  3. Press one of the numbered buttons directly below the arrowheads in the display (you may need to try a few). The model number appears.
  4. Press the station up arrow again. SERIAL N appears.
  5. Press the same numbered button again. The serial number appears.

If the radio is out of the car, the serial is also on the label on the housing.

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 CR-210 has lost power, the display shows CODE with a flashing C. The code is four digits, and it goes in on the numbered buttons below the display:

  1. Press the button for the first digit. CODE disappears and the digit is shown, followed by three dashes.
  2. Enter the other three digits in order. The position you are on flashes.
  3. When all four are in, the first digit flashes. You can still overwrite the code at this point, but to correct a mistake you have to enter all four digits again.
  4. When the display shows the right code, confirm it by pushing the signal seek switch.

If the code is not accepted

If a wrong code goes in, CODE comes back and you can try again. According to the Porsche manual for the CR-210, the radio allows three attempts and then shows WAIT for 10 minutes before you get three more. After nine wrong attempts the wait becomes 60 minutes, and every further failure costs another 60 minutes. The radio must stay switched on during the waiting time.

So stop and contact us rather than guessing. If the code we sent does not work, we refund you.

Porsche CR-210 radio code questions

Is there a Porsche CR-210 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 code 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.
