  • Hi, had to change the battery in my 98 Fiesta and wasn't given the keycode for the radio. It's a 3000 type Ford radio serial No - M000279.
    Hoping some kind person can help. Happy to provide more details for verification if required.
    Cheers Warren

    Mabe this will help:
    Vauxhall CDR 2005 (E)
    Siemens VDO 13 122 932
    Code Entry as Follows:
    Turn Off Stereo
    Switch On Ignition (No Need To Start Engine)
    Press & Hold Preset " AS " and
    Switch Radio On - Display Shows
    " SAFE " And Then Shows " 10 - - - - "
    Press preset " 1 " repeatedly for 1st Digit
    Press preset " 2 " repeatedly for 2nd Digit
    Press preset " 3 " repeatedly for 3rd Digit
    Press preset " 4 " repeatedly for 4th Digit

    Hi, I've tried this ... but the stero doesn't respond - neither the AS nor the Power button. It's a new CDR500 as well!

    Hi all, I would really appreciate assistance finding the code for Ford Radio serial number M252673.
    I shall donate a few quid to charity of your choice if it works. I would rather they had it than the miriad of comercial sites online.
