    Just found the number on the metal casing and it is:-
    GM020521628129
    Sorry....your code will only be available from the Main Dealer database or the unit will have to be taken into a Radio Decoding Service

    It is unlikely to be available for free or cheap from anywhere on the Internet

    m034825 = 7326
    TO ENTER CODE - press station preset button 1 repeatedly for 1st diget of your keycode - repeat the same on - 2 for 2nd - 3 for 3rd - 4 for 4th - & if the display then shows the correct keycode number press preset button 5 to enter - photo shows radio extractor keys & serial number on the radio casing - go to u-tube & see remove ford radio

    Hi. I wonder if somebody can help. My husband changed a fuse in the car and pulled the radio one out accidentally, causing it to reset. I have found a serial number by pressing 6+1 - V034341. I hope this is right! Any help getting the code would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. :-D
  • Hi,

    Is there anybody that can help me with my above posts, or point me in the right direction.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Thanks
  • Just seen your reply Regworts, thank you for your help. Can I ask the reason why this particular code can only be got from a main dealer?

    Because this code is not calculated but has to be looked up on a database ....and this later database is not available to buy as software.

    The better option is to take it into a Radio Decoding Service where they will electronically read the actual working code inside the radio's memory chip ..Expect to pay around £20
