    My Focus has been sat in the garage for months due to me being away overseas and now the stereo asks for a code I do not have.

    I've been told its possible to get the code for the serial number which is V000117.

    Can anyone help before bite the bullet and pay Fords (or should that be Frauds lol ! )

    Thanks
    Ford V Serial codes are not usually available for free from anywhere on the Internet (unless you can blag it for free from Ford) as they are not calculated using software but require access to the Ford factory database( via a Ford Dealer)...which is not commercially available as software.

    See your PM message for cheapest options

    Otherwise try your Ford Dealer or a Radio Decoding Service

    Hi,

    I've just replaced car battery in a Renault Espace and now its asking for a code for the radio to work. Unfortunately the code didn't come with the car when I bought it.

    There's no radio unit on the dashboard, but the CD changer is in the boot. If I get the serial number off this, is it possible to get the code somehow?

    Thanks.
    quote the 14 character SERIAL NUMBER beginning with
    RN* * * * * * * * * * * * found stamped in the metal casing.

    Also quote the SECURITY NUMBER. This is found on a label on the metal casing in the format TOA123 or TA123 or just A123 at the end of a barcode

    If in doubt post ALL the letters+numbers on any labels or barcodes

    Thanks very Reg.I'm afraid that code doesn't work. It's the one written in the manual. I tried again just in case and it's locked me out for 30 minutes again.

    The code is correct for the s/n , in these cases the first thought , the manual is not the original to the radio.

    You will have to remove radio from dashboard , not difficult.

    Go to youtube , plenty of info , better than us trying to explain.

    But you don't need 'keys' , a cut down wire coat hanger works well , just push in firmly. Keep us informed.
