    No point going to Ford as they will only give you the same code for £20+, which I confirm as 9429, then sell you an overpriced exchange unit. Check on the side of the case for an etched number. There is the possibility that the unit has been recoded at some time which means you are screwed I am afraid. Replacement units are available on ebay or aftermarket units are quite cheap.

    Hi ,

    I second what molerat said:T and also thank him for confirming my code.

    Are you inputting the code correctly?
    i.e. After powering up, the display will show CODE. Input the code using preset keys 1-4, followed by preset 5 to enter.

    If LOCK 10 is displayed, keep stereo turned on and wait for the unit to display code.
  • Hi the I have a ford focus 2006 I need the code for it because the battery went flat I do not have it can sme 1 help the serial number is M291418 thank I

    Hi, yes, there is an etched number on the side of the stereo in fact.

    Is it worth finding someone to reprogram it or simply looking at ebay??

    Thanks for your reply by the way!

    Have a look on ebay ( you could even bid on those which do not have a code ........ there much cheaper)
    Then ask for code here.

    Get an idea of the cost of a replacement , betting someone who could! reprogram would charge more .
    esp when including postage.
  • Hi,

    Just managed to get my serial number from my Ford 6000cd as my manual code doesn't work. Could someone give me the right code please? Serial number is M121667.

    Many thanks.
