  • If you had to talk to my Old Woman for a whole 5 mins on the way to Tescos, you'd be doing your best to drown her out aswell!!!

    But seriously thanks very much, i thought that was gonna cost alot more than the £1.60 it did for the keys to take the stereo out.
  • Hi There, Please, Please can you help me obtain my ford KA 2002 stereo code, the serial number is M030567.
    I'd be so grateful - thank you

    My hero... it worked! Thank you
  • Hello,
    My radio was broken few days ago. I bought a new one in ebay and I put it on. It didn't work. I didn't know it needed the code until today. I don't know how to take it off and how to insert the code.
    Somebody can tell me how to put the code on and what the code is pls.
    I have a ford explorer sport. Thank you very much.

    You need to post the M****** number. This is normally found by removing the radio from the dashboard,
    you tube gives good instructions. 'Ford radio removal'.
    Instead of correct 'keys' try small screw drivers or my fav , wirecoat hangers.

    When you have the M****** yellow sticker on the top/rear of the radio , post here and we will give you the 4 didgit number ( and instructions on how to enter code)

    You can do it ...... we have helped thousands!!!!!
  • I got it out.
    Here is what I found:
    F87F-19B132-AB
    AM171929
    Another question is, what should I do with the code? Sorry but I have no idea about those.
  • Hello, can you help me, my serial number is M007470.

    Much appreciated

    AM171929 ??? was this correct ?? ( i.e wots the A doing)
    So your code could be 5907

    Turn radio on , press 1st button 5 times ,
    2nd button 9 times
    etc

    When you see 5907 displayed press 5th button
