Asa Vance Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 So, I brough a ford focus from a friend, but they put the radio code in wrong so many times that it just says locked and that's all it does, can put the code cabt do anything. If anyone know how to fix this or has advice would be very much appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not too sure if every model has one. You could possibly look for instructions on the net for your specific model. So I look around the internet and couldnt find anything on the internet out a reset button, it's a ford focus 2008 estate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenFord Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 From internet: "There is a limit of ten tries when entering a code. After you reach the limit, the radio enters in "Locked" status. To reset it, hold button 6 for ten seconds. It will bring you another three attempts, but take care if you spend it too, the radio is going to be permanently locked with "Locked 13" message..." https://radiocodeford.com/6000-cd-radio-code Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Not sure if it applies to this one, but on some of the Ford radios you just need to leave it switched on for a full hour (suggest driving or connecting battery charger) and it will unlock so you can try again. Maybe try this? Possibly only works for the older radios but worth a try... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, was from a newbie telling us how wonderful a 'decoder' company he used as none of the above ones in this thread worked from him. Got the feeling he was just advertising his wares at £4.99 a pop 🤣 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unofix Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Yes post(s) deleted. They were just advertising links to Radio codes posted by Stevey78 which are not allowed on the FOC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
