The Ford car radio security code is a 4- or 6-digit code that unlocks your radio after a power interruption. Ford uses two types of codes: a V-code (starting with "V") for older systems and an M-code for newer systems. After a battery change, your Ford radio will display "CODE" or "ENTER CODE".
At RadioCodeLookup.com you can request both Ford V-codes and M-codes. The required serial number is on a sticker on the side or top of the radio. This is visible after removal from the dashboard, or in some cases via the radio system menu.
Our service covers all common Ford models, from the Focus and Fiesta to the Mondeo, Transit and Galaxy. Enter your details and receive your Ford car radio code directly by email.

Turn on the ignition so the radio shows "CODE". For 2004 and newer radios (6000 CD, Sony, 4500 RDS): hold buttons 1 and 6 simultaneously for approx. 3 seconds — the V-code will scroll across the display (e.g. V136429). For older models before 2004: use buttons 2+6 for the M-code (e.g. M123456).
Write down the full code: letter V or M followed by 6 digits. Cannot retrieve it via the display (e.g. Ford 4000 RDS or older)? Remove the radio using four semi-round Ford extraction pins (PC5-132) and read the code from the label on the side or bottom.
Enter your V-code or M-code below. Note: Ford allows a maximum of 10 attempts. After 10 wrong attempts the radio shows "LOCKED" and a dealer reset is required.

Everything you need to know about retrieving and entering your Ford car radio unlock code.
A Ford V-code is a 6-digit code starting with the letter V, used for radio systems built before approximately 2000. The M-code is a newer system with a different serial number format. At RadioCodeLookup.com you provide your serial number and we automatically look up the correct code.
On most Ford models, the serial number is on a sticker on the side of the radio, visible after removal. On some newer Ford models you can also retrieve the serial number via the audio system menu. Consult your Ford manual for the exact method.
The Ford car radio is equipped with a built-in anti-theft lock that activates after every power interruption. This is a standard security system in virtually all Ford passenger cars and vans up to and including 2014. You need the code after a battery change or electrical repair.
Use preset buttons 1 through 6 (or 1 through 4) to enter the digits of the code. Each digit increases with each press of the button. Confirm the entry by pressing the "OK" button or the "Tune" button. Consult your Ford manual for the exact method for your model.
Yes, a Ford dealer can retrieve the code, but this often takes several days and involves costs. Via RadioCodeLookup.com you receive the same code directly, without having to take the car to the dealer.
After payment, you will receive your Ford car radio code automatically by email, usually within 30 seconds. The service works 24/7, also at weekends and on public holidays, so you never have to wait long.
