    I managed to unlock mine.

    I entered your code: M190004. Your unlock code should be 8427.

    Let me know if it works for you.

    Thanks.

    It's a Ford Focus 1.6 LX V reg. I will have a go at taking the radio out tonight. The serial number on the documentation is M076396 key code 7580 unit type FD5000.
    The Ford garage is talking about £30 to change the code and that was his opening gambit on what to do as he doesn't seem to know why the supposed original code does not work.
    I am beginning to have a sneaky suspicion that the radio was changed from a cassette type to a cd type and the code I have is the cassette version as I vaguely remember finding a cassette type one in the car boot though I cannot be certain it was this car or my wife's Focus.
    cheers
    4 nails gently into the holes and pull out. If it won't come out put your hand up behind unit and push it out. £30 saved :money:

    M030580. gives the code as 0955

    Like the previous poster , where did you get the M****** code from.
    Scrap of paper in the glove box :D

    Only certain way is too remove radio from dashboard.

    It was on a bit of paper, yes... Thanks thecarpeople for that!!

    Anyway, my daughter took it to a Ford Garage and they've just charged her £28.50 - :mad: If all they've done is got another code, I'm not sure how they justify that charge, especially if the M** number we were using was wrong.

    I bet if I took the radio out, it's a diffrent M** number and I could have used the code tool mentioned in this thread and done it for free.

    Ho hum, we live and learn (sometimes...)

    Thanks anyway, guys.

    With the right 'keys' and not the wirecoat hanger or 4 nails .
    Getting a ford radio out , noting the M number , replacing the radio.
    Generating code and finally entering the code is only a 5 min job.

    £28.50 .... money for old rope!

    Still, lesson learned. Hopefully other people will take note :rotfl:
