<IMG src=smileys/smiley5.gif border="0">HELP! I HAD SOME WORK DONE AND THE SHOP DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY - NOW MY RADIO NEEDS TO BE RECODED - UNFORTUNATELY THE CODE I HAVE DOESN'T WORK... USED CAR, PROBABLY NOT THE CORRECT MANUALS ETC.. ANY WAY TO RESET THE CODE? THANKS

 

give a call to Mercedes and provide your vehicle's VIN# and they will find out the right radio code

 

I am having a similar problem. I disconnected my battery and got the "code". The 5 digit code written on paper work that came with the car did not work. I took the radio and car to the dealer and they gave me the same 5 digit code - both from looking up the vin and then the radio serial number. I must be doing something wrong in entering the code...

I put the 5 digits in and press the "sc" round button - nothing. Then tried to press the "tune", then tried the "scan" and all combinations of...

still nothing

 

Help, just regestered today, and I have no information on what to do with the radio code I DO HAVE. What is the procedure to reprogram the beckker radio and could this have anything to do with an antenna that stopped working as well. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. the vehicle is an 89 560 sl.<IMG src=smileys/smiley8.gif border="0">

 

The instuctions in my 1994 E320 book is:
With CODE flashing, enter first number then the next blank will flash - enter the next numbers. Then push the "sc" button - thats what not clear. It says the sc button, tune and scan which are two different buttons. You have 3 tries before it goes to wait. At this point to get code back, you must leave the key in position 1 for ~ 10 minutes then code will come back. After a couple of attemps - it will take 24 hours to get code back.

Hope this helps.

 

Any Mercedes code can be retrieved from this place!

 

Try contacting the radio manufacturer and provide them with the serial number, they may be able to provide a working code
