Ok boys and girls;
Ok i had to replace the battery in my AU ford last month and as the radio is not the original ( was changed over from the radio/cassette, base model to the higher spec model that have a cd/ radio ). radio worked fine until the battery was replaced and now the display only comes up with "code". No big deal except i have lost the code and i did not write the code for the radio into the owner's manual. Again no big deal and from what i have found out is that if i can give for head office for ford ( ?? ) a call with the serial number of the radio they would be able to give me the code number. Now my problem is that i can not release the radio from it's mounting points . I have used the u shaped little fingers and can release the left hand side, but the right hand side refuses to release. Before i go in "boots and all" is there another way to release the radio so as i can then get the serial number from the radio. Yes i know i should have written the code into the owner's manual when i replaced the radio, but i didn't and now i'm paying for it. Hopefully some one from the brain trust can point me in the right direction. |

Hi everyone; I finally got the radio out of my ford and after a bit of a struggle. I contacted ford and all they wanted to know was the vin number of my car to get the correct code for the radio. The problem is this radio is not the one that came with the car and was bought several years ago from a wrecker in nsw. Had the number then, can't find it now. does any one have a data base that could help.
