  • Yep code entry as stated:

    SILLY question - is this the original unit for vehicle, I believe that 6006CDC's also have the VIN No progammed into it!

    Thanks for the info. Yes - it is the original unit with the vehicle. It was repaired by a Ford Main Dealer (under warrenty) some time ago because a CD was stuck inside. How do I access the VIN or serial number of this unit? Is it by pressing 2+5 (or 2+6).

    Details are:

    Barcode: C6CBE0015486
    Barcode: *C70000004311*

    Serial No: 0015486

    Also this number: 96 241480 ZL
    The model is a Clarion PU-9983B

    Thanks very much for any help.

    Try code 5545

    Please note for future reference : On this forum we only usually supply a single free code for personal us only ....in order to keep the car radio thieves , traders and other chancers away

    How do I access the VIN
    17 digit VIN NUMBER stored in the radio can be easily reprogrammed from the ADV MENU on the radio
    How do I access the VIN or serial number of this unit? Is it by pressing 2+5 (or 2+6)
    If you are lucky - yes - not all units do this

  • hi,

    Is there any way of obtaining the serial number of my ford stereo without having to remove it from the car and look at the back? I need to enter the code as the battery went dead and see that the serial number is needed for this.

    cheers

    V serial codes are only available from Ford or a pro decoder for a fee I am afraid.
