    Has anyone seen this??? I replaced the battery in my 2007 F430 Spider, everything went fine, no issues. When in entered the 5 digit security key in the radio all worked great except for this "code" showing along the bottom of the display. The code changes or scrolls across the bottom every so often. The radio buttons work to change the channels. It's missing the key numbers that this key is replacing/covering...I haven't found a thing about this issue anywhere else, so here's hoping!!

    I think it depends on the head unit/radio...Mine you dial up the channel and hold down the corresponding button unit it beeps...I think...it's been I while, if VRSurgeon is right on my issue I'll confirm and post...

    I have the same unit, I believe....and I'm not sure how to tune the radio....I guess I'll have to "RFM" as techy friends of mine always say to me..... "Read the F___ing Manual"....LOL... Still trying to determine whether it has "AM" on it!

    Cheers

    Let us know how it went reading the Becker manual. You are in for a challenge.

    Don't have the answer to the OP's question but here's what I've found to work for programming the buttons on the 6104...

    Press the 3rd button , upper right until FM STT appears
    Press the top middle button until the menu displays
    On the bottom row of buttons, press the button that says MAN (manual)
    Dial the frequency desired
    Wait until the display returns to the display showing the button numbers (2-3 seconds) This is where I usually mess up -not waiting
    Press and hold the button that you want to correspond to the frequency. It'll beep

    This procedure of course compares to American radios where...
    Tune the frequency
    Press and hold until it beeps

    How ridiculously complicated...

    Although there is no answer to my problem here, there are manuals here about the radios...

    Go to Becker's web site and down load the manual for your specific radio. My car did not have the radio manual with the rest of the manuals so I downloaded it. This radio is way more complicated than it needs to be.
