    Wow, that was quick. Thanks!
  • Many thanks Trackman

    Tried this code but alas it doesn't seem to unlock :(

    Did notice when I slid it out to get serial number that stereo is from 2007 and car is 2003....so obviously out of a scrappy

    On the 6006e stereos am I right in setting each number of code on 1-4 buttons then pressing 5 to enter it?
    Hi Dave N,

    This is the first time I've ever posted on a forum, so I hope I'm doing it right. I have a 2004 Focus, and the radio went dead, then revived after a swift thump - only to ask for the code, which I don't have. I've extracted the serial number using wire clotheshanger to get the radio out, as on u-tube and it's M232889. (The date on the sticker is 2008 so it can't be the original radio). Are you able to help?

    Thanks.

  • Thanks very much Dave N. Interestingly, that number is hand written on the radio's sticker in the panel titled "Dealer". I wondered if it might be the code, but thought it was a bit silly writing it on the radio!

    Codes for V serials are not available free. There is a problem obtaining these in the UK at the moment and the current price seems to be around £10 on Ebay (and UKbookshelf which is often cheaper on weekdays). There is usually a supplier on Ebay from Estonia? doing them for around £4 but he does not seem to be listing at the moment
