No info on the radio code comes with the car documentation. You will need to call Ford for that...
It is a security code after all... What I want to know is who in their right mind would rip off one of these cheap **** radios anyway??? Got me stuffed. |

Haha. Yeah well.. my old Laser KF had a security coded radio. It was a Philips cassette radio. I was praying that someone would break into my car and steal that thing so I had a reason to get a new HU. LOL

We talking LS Focus?
Mine didn't come with any radio codes, the dealer said I would have to call them for the code if ever required. |

Nah with the service book they gave you there's 2 barcode stickers, the last 4 digits in the number below the barcode is the security code for the stereo

G'day all. Long time reader, first time poster....... I had my battery replaced today in my AU II Futura and of course i don't have a radio code. I rang 3 different ford dealers and was quoted 25, 20 and 15 dollars. So obviously it's all bullshit, how do i go about getting a code of them for nothing? Or should i give up and go the cheapest option? Martyvan, who did you call? |

When we picked up our new Focus the other day the salesman couldn't find the radio code which he says should be on a sticker in your little plastic folder somewhere. He said that the dealer keeps it on record and Ford have it too. After us hassling them for days they admitted that they had lost it. The service department slipped the radio out and got the serial number off the back, rang Ford with the number and they supplied the security code.

So if I unplug my battery to do something and plug it back, do i need a radio code to switch my cd player back on?

I was gonna say the same thing....
I got my festiva back from the panel shop after a fool drove into me and they had disconnected the batt. I was assured that the radio pin would be given to me over the phone by ford. I called em and they told me i needed to show my papers at a dealership for the number. However no money was mentioned. Drove down to ford 10 minutes before the service department closed.... they then said something about how they have already shut down all the computers and that if i needed the code i would have to hand over 20 bucks cash... I thought this was a "switching on computer levy" as the service guy was peeved that i dared show up 10 minutes b4 they should have shut.... Called another shop and was quoted "15 or 20 dollars". I searched my boxes and finally found the junk i cleared from the glove box before the panel shop got my car (I had also moved houses so i was searching for hours....) Firstly if it was going to be charged should it not be astandard fee?? it all seemed a bit random at the service centres and secondly if its just the matter of them looking it up on a computer why be charging ford customers if it would only take em a minute or 2 to find? |

Often it is the last 4 digits of your VIN.

Nah... i didnt giv em a cent, i just assumed it would be free. I had always had the code stashed in the glove box and as usual the time you need it is the week after you clear the box and stash all the crap away in boxes....

Some cvnt stole our papers from our car, was the only thing they took, that and our picknick blanket but what was found in a near by alley, every effort to get ford to get a new booklet has failed, we've rung and ordered a new booklet about 5 times now but they never call us when they are in and when we call back they never have a record of our order! So with the booklet went the manuals, the warrently and service history and the codes.

MikGan, the full service history is recorded in Ford's computer system nationally that ANY Ford Dealer can access. Call the CRC and state the problems you've had. If they can't order you a manual thorugh your local Dealer, then you local Dealer should be able to if it's a new model.
Radio codes are stored in the national system also that ANY Dealer in the country can access. I used to be the guy the Dealers contacted (in my old role) when they had difficulties accessing codes. If a Dealer charges you for it and you're not happy, tell them thanks for nothing and try another Dealer. But for security reasons, you have to go through a Dealer.

Thats good to know, when I last spoke to them they said that they had to give me a print out of all my service history to put in my glove box for the moment because they have changed owners and no longer have access to old service logs, only from date X forward, and that if I lost that print out I'd have no way to prove the car was 'ever' serviced.
Just a nother quick Q' what is the 'CRC'? and whats their number? I assume they are some sort of customer relations something-a-rather.... ? |

We have rung them in the past and found them moderately helpful. They always returned our calls.
