<![CDATA[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.

Did you call Umansky? I’ve gotten a code from them based off the radio serial a few times.

Just bring a title for a bmw when you go, they can do it with just the serial number

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

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?
