I did a numbty special,i left my lights on and flattened my battery.I got a set of jumpleads and started it.My radio was then back at factory settings and needs a key code.I cant find the book .Anyone any ideas apart from going to the dealer.doh im thick i know.

Can you see the part number/serial number on the radio? Just googled it and many people seem to have codes but they are different depending on the part number/serial number

[ABBEY]

i googled and it went whoosh,were would i look for a serial number? im probaly the least petrolhead male ever hahaha

Serial number would probably be on the back of the radio.

If not, go to a stereo shop and they will unlock it for you, but it might cost you £5-10

[ABBEY]

on the back of the radio? how do i take it out?

Is it a brand new model Trenny and did you buy it from a dealer ?

If you have they will have the record for the code. If not you can get it decoded for £20 at any reputable audio/electronic store

[ABBEY]

yes got it from dealer.

Try 0000 OR when this happened to me once I disconnected the battery again and when I reconnected it was all good and worked again.

Try 0000 OR when this happened to me once I disconnected the battery again and when I reconnected it was all good and worked again.

First thing - look in your manual, or radio book, it should have the code in there somewhere (and how to input it).

Secondly, ring the dealer - sometimes they keep the codes on the database, you may need to give them your VIN (Vehicle ID Number - usually on a plate either in windscreen, under bonnet or in drivers door frame).

Thirdly, if the above don't work, I'd rush it up that car audio place on Eanam next-door but one to NatWest (next to the tyre-place where they change them in the parking strip). Probably will unlock for a tenner I'd guess, maybe cheaper than going to Base (further down past the tile place).

There are other ways, but this is probably going to be your quickest, best option - especially if you're not a petrolhead. Has your car an immobiliser too? Sometimes these can play up once you start disconnection battery etc.

If you bought it from a Ford Main Agent I'm pretty sure they will have a record of it.

Just go to the dealer as lads said above, i did when it happened me and they gave it to me straight away free of charge
