MK4mover Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Hi, lent my Mark 4 fiesta to a friend and the radio is now locked..ten unsuccessful attempts to put in password...how can I fix this? Also has anyone else removed the radio & tape player and put in a radio & cd player? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orcomma Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 1. why did you put 10 unsuccessful attempts in? why not stop after just a few, just in case? had you left some attempts free, there are people on this forum who can calculate your PIN for you. as it is now locked, i think it's bricked. 2. the 6000CD is a direct swap for the tape player, the connectors on the back are exactly the same. just buy some radio keys and a 6000CD (or 6006CD if you want the in-dash multichanger) and do a swap. be warned though you will also need the code for the new radio.

mintalkin Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 there is a button sequence to allow three more code inputs but i can not remember it, a search should come up with the goods.if you have entered the code ten times you must have the wrong code to match the serial number.

Thanks for your reply, I lent the car to my brother in law for a few months (long story) and I had told him that I need to get the code..he played around with it but didn't get the right code..I lloked on eBay for a few of the radio & cd's so that looks like a useful option..
