    Bough a second hand car 2 years ago and just had a flat battery. Got a new battery fitted but now my radio is not working. Spoke to a couple of companies as I can't find the code in any documents that came with the car and the cheapest quote I got for them to get the code was £25.

    Is there a way around this??? Is there a cheaper option???

    Cheers

    You could try posting this in the correct thread, pretty sure it's the very first one. ANyway, apart from gettin the crystal ball out, if you were to tell us the type of car, the radio thats fitted and any serial numbers it would help

    Take the radio out and there is a sticker with M****** on it. Post that number in the Ford Radio Codes for Free thread.

    might be a daft question this. But what do I need to remove the radio. I have had a look and can't seem to see how to get it out.
