ford radio codes
I had to remove the battery from my focus in order to jump start the tiger, but now i need a code for my radio.
i have tried the code i had and it does not work. do the cheap computer programmes on ebay work or do i need to pay someone to give me the code.
thanks

IF you ring Ford HQ or a Ford garage they will usually get the code for you also. I've done this with Peugeot and Citroen over the phone with no
problems and for free.

Codes for older radios are no trouble ---- some post year 2000 ones can be trickier to get without going to the dealer.
Any decode software you get off ebay VIRUS CHECK before loading.

PM me all the details, exact model number of the unit, serial number, exactly what car its in and the year etc etc.
I'll pass it on to someone who hopefully will be able to get the code for you.

Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a
car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes
and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.

Iwas taking the radio out of an Escort I had because I didn't have the code and it was written on the top in black felt pen, so someone must
have replaced it already.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

just removed the radio what a pain, my stupid fault for thinking plumbers solder wire would do to act as keys, after i pushed the solder in could i
get it out.
anyway got it out by getting my hand in behind the radio and manual pushing the clips in.
typical the radio has a different serial no to the one i had been given, so have passed this on to members on site to see if they can produce a code.
thanks for the help

Never understood why manufacturers' standard radios have codes - who would want to steal a crappy Ford tape player!?

Glad you got it working again 
(Where do you live/keep the car keys and what times are you out by the way?
 )
