Before I go too far down this rabbit hole, is there a trick to the radio codes? 2009 focus. CD6000.

A flat battery has left me with the radio needing it's code.

The number in the owners manual doesn't work - Computer says Incorrect

I also found, in hand writting, at the back of the service book:

R/C 8081

K/N 1961

1961 is also written on the credit card in the owners manual jacket

None of those numbers work.

I've owned the car since almost new, so it's not been swapped to my knowledge.

Is there a defult code?

I have the V number and a website promises to get me the code for 8 quid. Which is not a lot but enough to be annoying...

 

Don't keep putting codes in, I believe it will eventually lock you out completely.

I know it's solved now, but eight quid is a lot, I think you can get them for 99p on ebay.

also in my experience, sometimes when you remove the radio someone has kindly written the code on it in marker pen.

I assume you know how to enter it.  eg.  6152.    press 1 six times, 2 once, 3 five times, 4 twice, then I think you then press 5 and it works. (I think that's how I did mine)

It's on attempt 3 and its making me wait 30 mins with ignition on, before each go.

What a total PITA this thing is!

Who'd want to steal a crappy ford stereo anyway...

We don't allow the request or offer of radio codes.

Please either visit a Ford dealer, or try ebay for a code.
