Ford 6000CD Radio
2004 - 2012
The serial number is the first thing you need to generate your Ford radio code. You can obtain this by pressing and holding buttons 1 and 6 simultaneously while the radio is on. A code cycle will then be initiated.
You are looking for a serial starting with the letter V followed by 6 digits this will be displayed towards the end of the cycle.
You might see some of the serial on one screen for example V1979 and then 05 on the next screen if the serial happens to be separated over two screen cycles. In this case, you will need to combine them to get the full serial number.
In cases where your serial does not display on the screen you will need to remove the radio. You can do this by using some radio release keys. Once you have removed your radio the serial number will be printed on the label located on the top, side or bottom of the casing.
Serial Example: V123456
Ford Sony MP3 Radio
2007 - 2012
By holding down the preset buttons 1 and 6 for several seconds, you will be able to retrieve your Ford Sony MP3 serial number from the screen. This will result in the display flipping through various information panes. Commonly, it could be disorientating when retrieving the serial number due to the screen separating the information when it cycles through. It can say the first half of the serial and then the rest will follow on the next pane.
Occasionally, Ford Sony radios do not display the serial number on the screen. In this case, the removal of the radio from the dash is required, which can be accomplished with a plastic prying tool and a screwdriver. You'll need the prying tool to remove the panels from around the radio and the screwdriver for the screws underneath. There are YouTube guides on how to remove your Sony radio if you need additional support.
Serial Example: SN SOCD6X7V011473
Ford 4000 RDS Radio
The serial number can be found by removing your 4000 RDS and locating the sticker label on the side. Identify the serial number beginning with M and followed by six digits, for example, M123456. Your radio can then be unlocked with the official code via this information.
Ford 4500 RDS Radio
2002 - 2005
To calculate your Ford 4500 RDS radio code, we require the M serial number.
You can get this information on your radio's screen when it has been turned on and 'CODE' has been displayed. Press and hold the 2 and 6 buttons for a few seconds, which will set the radio to show the M serial number.
Example Serial: M123456
Ford 6000CD Mk2 Radio
Start by holding down pre-set buttons 1 & 6 together. Mk2 Radios will cycle through various different panels of information on-screen.
Your serial will begin with “V” followed by six digits, for example, the serial number could be "V074652"
Ford Sony CD132 Radio
If you have a Sony Radio as shown in the image, you will need to remove the radio in order to get to the serial number.
It is quite simple to remove your Ford Sony radio. You will need a set of radio release keys (PC5-132). These are inexpensive and are around £3 - £5, you can obtain them from Amazon.
Once you have the radio release keys, push them into the 4 holes in each corner of the radio (See image), apply a little pressure and the radio will release from the dashboard. The radios label will be located on the radio's casing.
