Chuck,
There's numerous sites that will look up the code (Google "Becker Radio
Code") if you have the model annd serial # -both are on the side or backof
the radio. You need special tools to remove the radio though - but with the
tools you will be able to release the radio and slide it out far enough to
read the info needed. I went thru this last weekend when our battery went
dead but fortunately the dealer had my info. If you need the special tools
let me know and I;ll send you the name of the company that sells them -
One thing - don't start trying numbers - you get 3 chances then it locks up
for 15 minutes - and the 15 min only counts when the radio is powered up.
Then, you get 3 more tries - then it locks up for 24 hours - then, you get 3
more chances --
BTW, BeckerUSA no longer works on Becker Grand Prix vintage head units or CD
Changers -
Sincerely,

Subject: [MBZ] Becker Grand Prix Radio
I disconnected the battery over last weekend and now no radio..... DUH!
I tried Ed Ebel's email address at harmonbecker.com and it
bounced. Same with other guy from harmonbecker whose email was
posted about a week ago.........
Then I went to the local dealer and there is no Code listed for my
W201 (190E 2.3 16V). They contacted an outfit (Fast Track) in SoCal
and I was informed I have to take off the faceplate and send them the
radio. They will provide me w/a rebuilt model ... Didn't ask how much!
Was also told that the code is on the side of the radio. Can I
remove, get code, reinstall and be good to go???
TIA for advice.....
