    Morning

    Finally got round to changing my car battery safe in the knowledge i had my key code written down :-)

    However on entering said keycode into the radio it didnt work :-(

    I dont have DIN keys to get radio out, so tried the 6&1 trick and i got :-
    5070 1940
    DP MV SH(or possible 5H)
    09 00 00

    Is this any good in helping me solve the key code mystery?
    Its a 04 ford focus 6000cd rds.

    Should i bother going to halfords for DIN keys to get proper serial or am i destined for a ford dealer?

    Many thanks

    The correct radio SERIAL NUMBER is required for a code

    It usually begins with M or V followed by SIX digits ...such as M654321 or V654321

    Sometimes pressing buttons 6 & 1 together or 6 & 2 will display this number

    Otherwise remove the radio from the dashboard and post the SERIAL NUMBER found on a label on the casing

    Radio removal instructions can be found here

  • Superb, worked like a charm. Thank you!
  • Hi there everyone. I'm looking for a code for a Vauxhall Astra radio- a Delco Electronics CDR500. Codes show as - 4 660 103 and then GM 90 493 281 and then PA6-GF15. We are on route to Wales from London and very bored without some music, much appreciated if anyone would mind helping me out!
    Thank you
