    Hi Lee, it is against club rules to be giving out Radio codes, the usual advice is to look on ebay, there are services on there which can provide codes for a small fee, or have to go into Ford. Sorry, I don't make the rules, but we have to enforce them.

    You can download an iPhone app off the AppStore that generates radio codes. It worked for my 2004 fiesta.

    Search for "ford radio code" and it's the first option.

    There are no apps that can decode V serial numbers.

    you would have to contact Ford or search ebay for someone supplying V codes (V codes have to be generated via a Ford database)

    M codes are easy to produce but not helpful in this instance.

    or PUT your best politest voice on and ring your local ford dealer and say you bought the car from them new and the code wasnt supplied in the paper work,it should be on there system.if you get a helpful person they wil just look it up on there system.if not then iirc its £25.

    Sharing of radio codes is against club rules.

    Anyway, the only way to obtain a V code is via Ford.
