BMW Stock Radio Code
-
Hey All,
I picked up a stock cassette deck for my E30 online. I have yet to get it installed, but from everything I find online I need to have a code to unlock the radio. I called the dealership and they were less than helpful. All I have is a SN (F90555980C) from a metal plate on the radio.
If anybody could provide insight on where I can hunt down a code it would be much appreciated.Weird. Make sure you call the parts department of a BMW dealership. If you can't get a code let me know and I can try to get it for you.

That's who I talked to. They told me they couldn't do it. Have you had to get one before?

I've had Honda and Acura dealers refuse to give out radio codes over the phone after a battery was replaced, a memory saver used and a customer didn't have their radio code. It's not unheard of. Typically they're told not to without the vehicle because of the frequency of stolen radios. Although I don't now how frequent that is anymore.

I'll have to give that a try. I am hoping to get it installed over the weekend.

Did you call Umansky? I’ve gotten a code from them based off the radio serial a few times.
I just called Zimbrick in Madison. Just contact Umansky's parts dept?

If it's a CM5908, someone on r3v just released a really awesome Bluetooth conversion for those!
