Let me start off by saying I'm sorry, I know how annoying it must be to have people constantly coming on here and asking the same question. But I have would really really appreciate it if somebody could help me out.

I put a new battery in my car(and the guy I bought the car from must have lost the code because it was nowhere in the pouch), and my radio is giving me the CODE message. So I would really appreciate it if somebody with a code calculator could get the code for me(I would but I'm on a Mac).


Car: '99 ML320
Radio: 6 preset(probably a Becker but I'm not sure since it's part of the Bose package)
Serial: 98A138447



Thanks a lot.

 

RE:@ForcedInduction

I'm a professional radio decoder. While I welcome your good advice
to your community with regard to visiting MB dealership to recover
a radio code, I really do take exception to your suggestion that
"If somebody wants you to pay for a code they are trying to scam you"

I regard myself as an honest person of the utmost integrety.

There is online websites offering original serial number decodes, often
more reliable than the dealerships. So long as they are explaining that
they are providing original SN decodes from databases that they have
purchased I've no problem with that.

I can point to websites that are providing codes at $5. We don't all live
next door to a Mercedes dealership. My dealership is 40 miles
away, and prior to my involvement in radio decoding, I would have welcomed
picking up the phone to get a code, rather than taking a day off work, and
driving 40 miles.

There is scams in every line of business, my advice to anyone trying to
obtain a code online, is to shop around just like for everything else.

Just one question, if your radio has been re-programmed in the past
to a different code, where do you go? Do you just throw the radio away?
MB won't fix it.

In acknowledging you're answering a very old post, maybe you feel you've been
scammed in some way?
