    How do I get it to the code screen? and help with the code please
    Thanks

    You must leave it turned on until code bars return.

    Quote..... It appears with locked
    So the display shows lock 10 /13??
    And NOT the word C.O.D.E.
  • Will try code but it's been in a 'locked' state for 3-4 weeks now ......how will I get it to return to code screen?

    Thanks in advance

    I think my previous post might have got lost on the previous page as I've had no replies yet :( Could someone please help me with my Radio code? It's a Ford Ka, radio serial number is M004700.

    I'd be very grateful if someone can help!

    Well thats better than Lock 13 ( dead radio)

    Firstly make sure you have the right code
    to unlock it; try holding down the button 6 on your radio whilst switching your radio on, this should give you 3 extra attempts to enter the code.
    if this does not work then switch on the ignition AND the radio and leave undisturbed, 9 times out of ten this will clear it, downside could take up to an hour

    But lets get back to the serial number M017853
    Where?how did you obtain this number?
    Did you remove the radio from the dashboard.??
