    Hi need a code for my ford stereo, where do I find the serial numbers needed for you to find my code. Thanks


    Hello,

    Your references will be found on the metal box labeled with the radio.
    Sometimes based on 2 and 6 or 1 and 6 at the same time
    But more on this is to remove the radio, here's a link to help you remove the radio

  • Hi all,

    Had my battery changed on my 2004 Ford Mondeo. No problem I thought, I have the key code. The serial number was M018783 and the key code was 2548. 3 failed attempts in I'm wondering if the keycode security sticker belongs to one of many other fords I've owned over the years. Without removing the unit (yet) I tried holding the 1 and 6 keys simultaneously and got a series of displays including the following:

    FDD2004M104695

    I'm guessing that the serial number is actually M104695. Does anyone have the code for this?

    Many thanks

    FORD CODES ONLY ! -- single code requests for personal use only ( one per 6 months ) -- we need the ( correct ) serial number to get the code ( your audio paperwork or radio may not be the original ones ) you will not have unlimited code entry attempts only 10 to 13 & then it will lock you out so do not enter it if its not for that radio -- if you need your serial number then some radios you can press the station preset buttons -- 1&6 or 2&6 -- & it may display the serial number if not then the radio will have to come out from the dashboard ( a vidio on you-tube can show you how ) on the casing of the radio is the radio keycode/serial number label with the serial number on it for that radio ( see photo on the left eg M123456 or V123456 one letter & six numbers ) if its a M serial just post it, SORRY ! BUT IF ITS A "V serial" then its not free as access is required to the original FORD factory database ( which is not commercially available ) if you need info on poss best sites please ask by posting here & a message will go on your private messages on the header at the top of the page --- take a look on e-bay or http://ukbookshelf.co.uk/fordv I will send a message if needed !
    Unicornucopia please read above -- ( M104695 = 0675 )
