Ford Stereo Radio Code

RDS6000Hi everyone.

If your looking for the activation code for your ford stereo then you’ve come to the right place.  You will need the code for your stereo if  you are reinstalling it or if you had a flat battery.

Ford service centres are more than happy to help, oh! and they will charge you for your code.

I wasn’t about to do that, so I searched the net but to no avail.  Finally I came across a little program that calculates your stereo code once you have popped in your radio serial number.  This program worked for me, I hope it works for you guys too.

I only have the software for A, L, C and M series stereos and I have only used the M series software and instructions .

PLEASE DOWNLOAD THE SOFTWARE AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS TO FIND YOUR CODE.  ENJOY

    Can you please help me with instructions how to unlock my radio. There is only LOCKED on it. Disconecting from batery did not help. How to get to stage that radio is asking for CODE?

    Comment | October 25, 2009
  • William

    Peter,

    Normally it starts with asking the unlock code.
    When you use the right code, it will unlock

    If you don’t see that, you have a serious problem.
    Maybe tried to much?

    Try to push all the buttons till you see code….
    Then put in the right code.
    If you don’t have the right code, you can ask it here.
    When you do, give the serial so we can find it for you.

    Goodluck.

    Hi Guys,
    I’m not good with technology.
    I bought an old Ford Estate LX (97) off my neighbour, but the stereo is locked.
    It has a message running across it that says ‘5256JGM Escort’.

    It’s a 6000CD Tuner and the serial number on the back is:
    M190274

    Please help me out, it’s bad enough driving an old banger, but no music, that’s torture!!!!

    Cheers,
    Julie.x

    this key will unlock the radio.

    and you need the 4 keys and the 5th key to confirm.

    Hi William,
    Thank you so much for this. It worked first time.
    For some reason only the radio works though - the CD ejects with the message ‘check CD’. Tried it with all types.

    Never mind, I’m just made up that it works!
    Have a fantastic X’mas!

    Nicolai,

    So far that i know there isnt a V serie for the CD6000
    However if it’s a M serie this will be the code:

    6706

    Goodluck!

    Comment | May 16, 2010
  • Nikolay

    Uiliyam, regrettably, series M does not approach. Needs the series V100683. Thank you.

    Comment | May 18, 2010
  • William

    Nikolay,

    The software only provide a code with series starting A C L M
    If there is a serie starting with V, perhaps the dealer can help you futher.

    Goodluck,

    William

    hi where can i find the serial code for my radio

    Comment | May 28, 2010
  • Rum

    Jazmin, you need to remove the stereo from the dashboard using the special prongs. The code is written on a sticker on the unit.

    Or maybe it is also written on the security keypad that can be removed from the front.

    Good luck
