i tock my mondeo mk 4 titanuim to ford today to get my radio code and they said that they would need to take the dash out to get the radio to get the code???is this correct and if yes,how easy to take it out???
cant see the dash needing to come out to get the radio code...
does it have 4 little slits, 1 in each corner on it? like in this pic (even though this unit is probably not the same as fitted in your car) above the CD and AM/FM and below the FADE/BAL, and PTY buttons. if so, it should be able to remove it with the 4 keys (available off ebay) in the other pic.
Didnt you see the link i the other tht=read you started on this Yorkie Here.
That's what has to be done to get to the radio which seems silly for the dealer to go through all this when he should be able to look at the build history to start if it's the original radio.
if could see one out, you may be able to locate the sticker without removing it... alternatively, you could try another frauds dealer... they might go down the info route...
I wasnt thinking of the keycode though why not, more like serial number of radio maybe or at least then the dealer that sold it. After all, the service history etc is centralized.
Maybe it is easier for the dealer to remove the radio than try and contact the original dealer.
Artilleryman is correct the original seller has the keycode on file.
Any other dealer can obtain the keycode via etis/wds
A phone call to your dealer with your reg or vin is all you should need to do to obtain the code free of charge (you may be asked to prove ownership).
If the radio has been changed since build then the serial number of the radio will be needed.
As a last resort, there are ebay sellers that can get the code from your serial (for a small fee).
Only the fascia trim needs to be removed to get the radio out not the whole dash.
Look in the Ford Wiki to find out how to remove yours.
Stop everything, you do not need to remove your unit at all,hold i buttons 1 and 6 together which will enter into the engineers menu,let it scroll through this and you should get to your unit serial number ie V****** Go on ebay and search for item number 200637112955. This fella will get you your code. Hope this helps
