    Hi - just came across thread and wondered if you're still offering to help. Ford Fusion 2 2004 - recently had repairs and now need code - will the VIN number be enough?

    Thanks Paul

    You will have to get the serial number off the radio to find the code. Sometimes pressing buttons 1 and 6 or 2 and 6 together will display it. If not the radio will have to be removed to find it on the label on the back. It will be a M or V followed by six numbers. If it begins with a M post the serial number and we can find the code for you.
  • My dad has had a new battery fitted on his ford but now the radio requires a code, can anyone help me out please? The serial number is m268534 and it's model 6000 reds e-o-n.
    Thank you in advance
    Katie


    Many thanks RegWorts, I will pass the code onto my dad 😉👍🏼
    Thank you

    Serial: GM 330886636

    Sorry. Your code will only be available from a main dealer or the unit will have to be taken into a radio decoding specialist.

    The correct radio SERIAL NUMBER is required for a code

    First remove the radio from the dashboard.

    Removal Info here

    https://www.fitaudio.com

    Then post the radio make+model plus all the letters+numbers on any labels,barcodes and a 14 character Serial Number stamped in the metal casing.

    This information can then be used to see if a code can be calculated
