The battery went flat (I mean dead flat) on my wife's BMW Z3 year 2000 and I have got locked out of the radio, CODE WAIT.
I have removed the radio from her car so hopefully without power it will reset the CODE to 0000

Radio is a BMW Business RDS
65.12 - 8 379 230
PH7850Y1468280
KW 10/00 Index: 00
*22DC785/24*

Can anyone help with the code number please, 4 digits I think?

Thanks for your reply, I suspect BMW may require the car to be taken in .... for a good FEE of course!
Not sure I trust some of these online services, any you can recommend?

Thanks

The best option is a Radio Decoding Service who will open up the radio to electronically "read" the code in the memory chip (eeprom).

Expect to pay around £25

This method will definitely give you a working radio whereas codes from the BMW Dealer database are often incorrect for a variety of reasons....and they do not usually offer any money back guarantee if they do not work,
