    Codes for Ford V serials are not available free anywhere. It will be available from your local Ford dealership or radio decoding service. Try a search of the internet and sites such as ebay for the best deal or here http://ukbookshelf.co.uk/FordV or http://www.restoredclassic.cjb.net/

    First time I have heard of a 'failure' .
    When we hear of a code that does not work , our first question .
    How did you obtain your m/v ******
    Did you remove the radio and check the number on the casing ?

    Hi,

    I am hoping you can help me out.
    I have a Vauxhall Zafira and the car stereo in it, a Blaupunkt Car 300 (F), is now locked and deafeningly silent after needing some welding done :(

    The serial number is: GM030041514441

    Other numbers on the sticker are 7 640 852 320
    24 455 376
    e1
    02 1465

    Hope you can help,

    Thanks in advance

    Yeah I did, it's sorted now anyway.

    I e-mailed them and they resent a different code, which thankfully worked so happy days.

    Top Job :T
