2706 is the code for M139957, so is the M139957 the right number for your radio , or was it also in the Audio book?
Take the radio out of the dashboard and check for the correct M****** normally on a sticker top of radio.0 -
I will try and check the serial number on the radio if i can get the thing out. Perhaps its not the original radio!2706 is the code for M139957, so is the M139957 the right number for your radio , or was it also in the Audio book?

I`ll get back to you if the serial number is different from the one in the Audio Guide.
Thanks for your help:cool:0 -

But a wire coathanger works well. Cut the hanger at the corners to produce two loops.
Push well into the two holes ( 3 inches??) then push wire sideways slightly and pull loops towards you.0 -
The link you gave me does`nt cover 2001 mondeo`s, but i will give the coat hanger trick a go:)

The idea's the same , the coat hanger trick is worth a go , cheap ( free) . You cant do any damage to the radio , pushing a wire into the holes does not go into radio , just releases the catches , so be firm.
Otherwise the 'correct' keys .......... two pieces of shaped wire can be bought from Halfords £6
or off ebay for £2 .
Check out ebay for a picture of said bent wire.0 -
