I recently had some success in finding the original 5 digit radio code for an early Mercedes Sound 10 radio unit fitted to a friends 2004 Mercedes Sprinter using this decode list.

Mercedes Sound 10
You might want to give it a try.. No promises, but its worth a go! Just enter the last 8 digits of your Sprinters VIN into the grey window of the downloadable decoder spread sheet and then press enter – if the radio code is known against the VIN number it will be displayed in the yellow window. If ‘N/A’ is displayed then its not your lucky day, sorry! This will only work if you still have the original radio fitted from when your vehicle left the factory. Remember this is for the early series of sprinters with the radio as the picture above.
If the above does not work out for you I still may be able to assist with the code for your old model radio cassette unit. Remove the radio from the dash and take down the Becker model and serial number from the paper label on the side of the set. List these details in the comments box beneath this post with your request and I will see what I can do.

Instructions for entering the code:
After switching on the unit the display will show ‘SOUND 10’ for a brief time then clear.
Press [ ON ] and ‘SOUND 10’ will display again followed by ‘CODE * * * * ‘ The ‘C’ will be flashing.
Press [ + or – ] to increment/decrement the first digit of the code, then press [ M ] to select the second digit.
Repeat the procedure until all digits have been entered.
Upon entering the last digit press and hold the [ M ] key to accept the code.
The set will now turn on.
If ‘WAIT’ is displayed on your radio: This means that the incorrect code has been tried too many times. If you leave the radio powered on for over two hours it should reset and clear, allowing you to enter the new and correct code. It is possible for repeated could lock you out of the radio altogether, if this is the case WAIT will not disappear after two hours. The radio will then have to electrically unlocked at an auto electrical radio specialist.
i bought a stock mercedes ml320 1999 stock stereo to replace the old one off ebay it was a used one and i got the stereo but no code so i installed the new one after i rented and retunred the kit to take the stereo out i didnt happen to write down the serieal number down when i put the new one in and i dont have the money to rent that kit again with the keys to pull out the stereo to get the serieal number so what should i do i cant unlock my stereo
Hi Anthony,
I am afraid without a code the only hope you have to getting your radio running is to obtain the serial and model number from the side of the set. If it is a Becker manufactured unit I may be able to help but if it is made by Alpine then you will have to take it to a car audio shop or pay to have the code decoded on the web. You can get removal keys very cheaply from the internet, see here.

Hi Steve. I have a 04 Sprinter RV. I disconnected the battery for storage and you guessed it, the radio wanted a code. No sign of a code anywhere. Your decoder spreadsheet worked great! Thanks so much. The hardest thing for me was using Excel to change your sample but copy/paste saved the day. 🙂 Here’s $10

Hi Steve
2003 Sprinter, orig sound10 gave up the ghost. Got another Sound10, BE6045 28015926.
I think code is 31222, got the “wait” message. Will leave unit on power for 2hrs as per your advice to see if clears, but in the meantime are you able to confirm I have the correct code please?
kind regards, Nige
Hi Nige.
Two codes are listed as possibilities for that set, neither are the one you have! Have a go with these and let me know how you get on – 23213 or 41213
All the best
Steve
Steve,
First of all thank you for the responce. But the problem is on Mercedes Radio Audio 10 BE 3100 RDS with S/N Y1239534 impossible to enter number 6 (six), there are only 4 numbers and I tried all ways to do that, didn’t work. I am saying it because you said to try 31316 code and I cannot enter number 6.
If any further suggestions, will be appreciate.
The Best
Zak
Hi Zak,
In that case try 7906 as a four digit code. You should have better luck.
All the best
Steve
I am affraid I couldn’t explain well. There are 5 numbers of code but the problem is there are only 4 buttoms for entering numbers. I can enter only numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4. the combination musn’t include numbers above than 4. like 31314 or 4444 but not 21215 or 67896. Is there manual way for unlocking the code, because some laptops could be unlokced manually removing BIOS battery…
Many thanks
Hi Zak,
In that case try 13112 that should work for you.
Best Regards
Steve
Steve, it unlocked. Many thanks and I appreciate your help
THanks again

No problem Zak, sorry it took a time for me to understand the radio you had.

Do u know anything about the new sprinter radios..I have a 2017 Mercedes sprinter and the radio is locked in the mute mode..
Hi William, You could try totally removing the power from it to allow it to reset. As a point of note these are coded to the engine ECU via CanBus and do not have a code. A radio from another vehicle will not work and you will get a displayed PROD error. Better to get your set repaired at a specialist if you can’t get a similar radio that has been decoded in such a way as to bypass the CanBus check.
