Mondeo Stereo Code

trinnylilac

I wonder if someone can give me some advice .

Something happened to my Mondeo and the electrics had to be sorted out . They have been but now my stereo needs to have a code inputed to let it work..
I have called the Ford garage local to me and the want £20 + to attach it to something and get the code for me.
Does anyone know if this is the normal price and practice,

Well I got mine by phoning a ford main dealer with registration
and chassis number, no payment required.

I will give it a go by phoning another dealership.

Go to Ebay & search for "Ford Radio Code" & you'll see quite a few offering this service for considerably cheaper than £20. Not tried it myself: yet!

Good idea and for 99p worth a try.
Any Idea how to get the stereo out of the car without damaging it or myself ?
(I need to get the serial code from the side)

You need the prongs to get stereo out, cheaper way is to drive
to halfords and ask em to remove it, takes about 30seconds.

Don't you have to buy something from them?.

Mr_Skint_2

Nah just be upfront with them, either that but an air freshner
... go on get stuck in, give em a bell just to make sure they can do it.

Better put on some lippy then and drive up there .

Regard Halfords as 'Man Territory'

Phone em first, P.S they shouldnt charge for 30seconds work, you might have to buy the prongs though, they cost about 2.99

Halfords only 5 mins away and I am going out anyway. Have to take the baby out otherwise I lose the will.
I will buy a magic tree freshener and try and get some sympathy at the till.
Will let you know how I get on.
