Car Radio Unlocking

Hominid

Unfortunately, there is no V or M prefix - the radio is made by Sony, apparently.

I have heard that these particular cd units have to be sent back to Sony when you lose the code.

What is the model N0.?

Audio Receivers: The model number is located on the faceplate. (e.g., CDX-GT200)

Needs to go to a radio specialist to recover the code. See https://www.dndservices.co.uk/ford-2040.html for details

Ford 2040
93AB-19B160-AD
Sony



As originally fitted to the :

Ford Escort
Ford Granada Scorpio
Ford Orion


This unit is powered by a seperate Ford Radio / Cassette which will have its own unique code number that must be entered before the Code can be entered into this CD Player.

Please note that code entry is only possible when four lines " - - - - " are flashing in the display. If the display continually shows four static bars " - - - - " then the unit may be codelocked and will need to be left switched on up for up to two hours to reset before another code entry attempt is possible. If it does not reset after this time, then all of your code entry attempts may have been used up

is the four bars flashing?

Hominid

Thanks for your help, people!

All four bars are flashing, but I have tried a couple of codes already, so I only have a few attempts left before it locks itself.

To be honest, the car isn't worth the price of paying to unlock the cd, so I suppose I'll have to survive with just the radio. Typical!

Don't give up maybe I can help but will be a few days wed./thur next week OK.

Don't enter random codes Save the remaining attempts !!
