    After a recent car service the battery was disconected and the scammers down the garage said it would cost me another £20 to get the code to unlock my stereo. Was hoping that some one could be kind enough to give me the code for a;

    Ford focus 2001 cl
    Serial number: M247615

    Any help would be much appriciated.

    I don`t think you`ll be able to obtain this VDO code anywhere for free as it`s too modern.
    Try one of the "professional" Radio Decode Specialists on Ebay or via Google

    Big thanks RegWorts, it's working again!
  • cheers for the code mate! works great
  • I bought a second hand ford mondeo with a 4000 Traffice radio in it. Unfortunately there is no code anywhere.

    The serial number is: M132235

    If somebody can find the code for that I would be very grateful.
    Many thanks.

    ..Using something else
    ..If you don`t have the correct extractor tools , then inserting 4 pieces of wire (using 4 pieces cut from a wire coathanger perhaps) or 4 small screwdrivers or 4 small Allen keys or even 4 darts into the four holes on the front (at the SAME TIME) whilst an assistant pulls the radio out of the dashboard will also work, with patience!.This can be fiddly as all 4 retaining clips have to be released at the same time but it is possible using care + patience.
    Note : On some
    BLAUPUNKT radios the 4 holes may be protected by small screws.These can be unscrewed using the appropriate size of small Allen key.

    More assistance required please-been putting it off for a while but got a long trip to go on and can't do it in silence!

    It's a Citreon Saxo VTR, Blaupunkt CD player I think, the factory fitted one. Serial number is CL0402X0053720.

    Thanks in advance for any help!
