Ford's information states that if the security code is unknown or lost, you will need to contact a dealership where, by providing the audio unit information and proper identification, you will obtain the correct code. However, this is not always the case and sometimes they require payment for it.
PROCEDURE TO OBTAIN THE SECURITY CODE
Nevertheless, there is a method to obtain the unlock security code without resorting to dealership services or having to remove the car radio to read the data on its sticker. We distinguish three steps:
- Obtaining the audio system serial number.
Turn on the audio unit.
Press and hold the [1] and [6] buttons on the front panel (station pre-setting). A fourteen-digit message will appear on the screen, where the last seven characters, starting with a letter, correspond to the audio system serial number (e.g. FDB30N5M051505). This may not work on older car radio models, especially those made before 2004.
- Obtaining the unlock security code. Using the previous serial number, you can use a code generator program to generate the unlock code (four digits) that will later be entered into the device in step 3.
- Entering the unlock security code into the radio.
Once the security code has been obtained, it is entered into the vehicle's audio system following the procedure indicated below.
The best way to unlock your radio is to use an unlock code generator.
