If the original factory code doesn't work, you need to pull out the radio and get the serial number on the side of it. Then contact the car dealer or the manufacturer and they would give you the code.

The code that you are referring to is also called the anti-theft code. This code is unique for each radio. No body could provide you the exact code except for the dealer or manufacturer.

My 1999 Mercedes c230. I don't have my manual book to get the code number for the radio.

You could request a security code from the dealer or an experienced electronics technician must open the redio and read the code from the memory chip inside, but this will cost you money. You'd better replace the radio with a new model w/bluetooth and CD.

Can anyone help me with a radio code for a 1998 c230 radio? I replaced the radio with a 97 e420 radio which is the same but I need a code..can anyone help? thanks!

In order to get the radio code for the radio that you picked all you need to do is call the Mercedes Dealership and tell them you need a radio code. Then give them the serial # that is stamped onto the radio. With that serial # they will be able to get you the radio code. Or you can reply back to me with the serial # on the radio and I will call one of the guys I used to work with at the dealer and get the code for you.

The display on the radio and the radio wont come on its mercedes benz C230-1998. had to charge the battery

you will probably have to enter a code for your radio to work again, look in your owner's manual and if you do not have one then you will have to call a dealer and get the code or try searching online, sometimes you can get help there

Reset radio code C230

This happened to me too. I didn't have the code, and my service tech called the dealer and they gave it to him--we entered it, and I wrote it down in my glove box, and it worked immediately.

RADIO CODE

go to Mercedes dealer give them your VIN, ask them to look on the VMI for the radio code. If the radio is original, that code will unlock the radio. If it has been replaced or the code does not work you willhave to pull out the radio and give the dealer the serial number to get the correct code.
