Car Forum / Mercedes-Benz Cars / November 2006Entering radio code
My brother bought a 1998 MB and he has problem with entering code to stereo. Code has 5 digits and the first is 8. Radio has only 6 buttons with digits. How can he enter digit 8?

On some of those you enter the first digit by pressing the #1 key sequentially as many times as the first code digit indicates, 8 in your case. The next number entered by pressing #2 key according to the second digit of the code. Finally there should be one key to enter/accept the code. Might be difficult to guess without a radio manual, or advice from owners of a similar radio. The dealer should always be able to help. > On some of those you enter the first digit by pressing the #1 key > sequentially as many times as the first code digit indicates, 8 in your > case.

OK, I take it you actually know the exact device OP was asking, this was not clear from your post. I hope he replies to thank you in this case (well deserved). For my curiosity, if you select the code entry with the tuning key, how do you select the next entry, and should one accept the 5 digit entry finally, how?

Turn and press the tuning button for each single digit.

Also if he does not have the code, it would be better to get it from the dealer, although those code generators appear in the internet for thieves anyway, they would not need to ask here... I work at a MB dealership. If he has an 8 in his radio code, he clearly has the wrong code. I offered to get him <hopefully> the correct code. The correct code will be numbers 1 thru 6. Each number corresponds to a button, NOT how many times you press a button. If you can get him the right code, then have it. I take back my offer. > > Have him remove the radio and email the radio serial number to me, > > aufever@prodigy.net and I will try to get him the correct radio code.

Don't get me wrong, your previous reply just wasn't clearly indicating that the OP would have had the wrong code. Should be a clear hint for the him/her now. Seems we have two experts on the thread, one that is just curious about the details (me) and the original poster who doesn't seem to care about the help from the experts (no reply seen at least). Your comment raised my curiosity again. Why does the number range need to correspond to the number of (number) buttons if the number entry is done as the other expert on the thread explained (with the frequency dial knob, and pressing the knob for each key)? Would you confirm this is the right way to enter the code? >I work at a MB dealership. If he has an 8 in his radio code, he clearly has >the wrong code.

On a MB radio, if you have a code, for example, 1 2 3 4 5... then you put it in by pressing 1 then 2 then 3 then 4 then 5. That is it. > Don't get me wrong, your previous reply just wasn't clearly indicating that > the OP would have had the wrong code.
