    please read below !!

    Hi Dave,

    When I press 1 it just keeps loading the radio preset.

    When I turn the unit on it just scans and never finds a channel...

    How do I get to the screen to enter the code?

    I'm thinking that mines not actually locked but the radio isn't functioning correctly?

    Cheers

    I think you are correct, if it needs a code inputting the screen asking for it will be there automatically. You need to pull it out and check the aerial connection as a start.

    815 c7e3f0527 a 7702202 is the correct Serial Number ( These Ford ones do not start with BP )
    However there should also be another 10 digit number beginning with
    7 XXX XXX XXX
  • Hello again. Finally managed to remove my car radio and the serial number is different from the booklet!! The number is, m055944
