BMW Z3 WRONG UNLOCK RADIO CODE HOW TO GET THE RIGHT ONE

I just bought a BMW Z3 2001 and find out the radio was locked. I contacted BMW dealer in Canada and provided VIN number and they gave me a 5 digit 56213 code which doesn't work. Since the BMW was bought in the states, should I contact BMW USA? Thanks

André BMW Z3, the radio looks like it is locked. I have the code but the radio display does not work. Can someone give me the exact steps to unlock the radio?
thanks

If the radio is displaying code wait, or wait, then the ignition and radio must remain on for 1hour. I would contact a dealer within the USA and provide them with your radio serial number. The serial number can be displayed in the radio by pressing and holding down the "M" button while turning on the ignition.

Had to replace battery now radio is asking for code

The correct radio SERIAL NUMBER is required for a code

First remove the radio from the dashboard.

Then post the radio make+model plus all the letters+numbers on any labels,barcodes and a 14 character Serial Number stamped in the metal casing.

This information can then be used to see if a code can be calculated

1997 z3 bmw radio lock vin#4uscj3324vlco7812

Getting the code to unlock the radio requires access to the factory data base, that is restricted and we do not have permission. You will need to contact the dealer for help with this. The original owner was given this code.

I just purchased a 1996 BMW Z3 Roadster for my wife for our anniversary. The radio is locked, I have gone to the local BMW dealer now three times and they still can not help me. The original radio unlock...

Normally the dealer just needs to know the serial and it will give you the code in less than a minute. If the code they gave you doesn't work then the radio unit  has been modified and the only ones that know what was modified  are the ones that did it.
Just bite the bullet and get a new radio - one with an iPod hookup , your wife will appreciate that.

Hi, my dad bought a BMW Z3 2002 and we can not access the code number for the radio. He bought the car in NYC and lives in Montreal, QC, Canada. We called the dealership, they gave us a code, but it does...

Greetings from Maryland. I have had issue with codes before myself, and it appears that ONLY dealers can provide proper coding, usually for free. Once they unlock and engage the radio for you they will give you a copy of the code for your use later. The odds are the NYC dealer provided a bad digit.

I pressed the wrong code for my radio (business cd radio)

1. You have to have the code for the radio which varies by serial # of BMW. I got this code by calling my BMW dealer here in town. They were very nice and gave it to me for free.

2. When you enter the code wrong 3 times (I think) the radio goes into "sleep mode" for 2 or 3 hours of operation. In this sleep mode the radio will not let you enter the code from 1 above.

3. After waiting just enter the code and all will be well.

Yes. If it was bought in the US, it was coded for the US, so have a US dealer provide the code.
