    Where did you find the serial No.?

    I got it from the barcode sticker on the side of the unit.

    I tried the serial number in a code generator online and it seem to think it was a valid serial.

    However, they wanted money for the code. Then I found this site, so thought I would try here!

    i have a combo van stereo with no code, can anyone help,
    the serial number is
    GM003163120369
    I believe these are VIN coded units which means it has to be electronically linked to your car`s electronics

    This is a job for the Main Dealer or a Radio Decoding Service

    Hi there,

    Looking for a code for my Ford Focus radio please. The garage said they had to disconnect the battery to get to a filter when in for a full service. :-/ Only then I discovered I didn't have the code!

    Anyway, the serial number is A329833. Many thanks in advance. :-)
    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

  • Hi Regworts,

    Already had the radio out 3 times and still cant see an M or V number! I tried to attach a couple of pics, but cant because I am a new user on this forum.

    In the posts I have read the number should either be on the top of the radio or at the back. Is this correct?

    The 6 and 1 / 6 and 2 combo doesnt work when I switch the radio on btw.

    Thanks in advance.
