Oboe Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Hi All, First post - finally the advice I need hasn't already been discussed (or at least, I can't find it). Long story short; removed the fuses for the Sony 6 CD changer after it kept on stating 'No CD' when asking it to eject. Common issue I believe with a simple solution! However, the security code in with the service manual wasn't correct. It would appear there has been some alteration or mix-up before I bought the car a few months ago. A visit to the Ford dealership (Evans Halshaw) has proved useless - they couldn't even get the stereo out of the dashboard (after putting the code in for the 3rd time and getting to the half-hour locking stage)! All they could offer was totally dismantling the dashboard (not likely at dealership labour charges...) So, I am going to pick up the keys/tools to have a dash at removing it myself tomorrow. Does any one have any similar experiences and therefore any advice on getting this !Removed! thing out so that I can get at the serial number? Thanks, Owen.

iantt Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 i may be wrong but im sure even on your age to mondeo, that you can retrieve the radio serial number by switching radio on and pressing 1 and 6 together which then scrolls through various numbers until either a m------ or v---- displays. so try thats 1and 6 together, and if not that try 1 and 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oboe Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 Just tried that little button combo and it brings up a series of numbers and dates but nothing that appears to be what you have suggested. Nor does there seem to be anything that looks like the other serial codes that I have seen online. Maybe it's because it's in 'locked' mode ... ? Suppose |I'll have to wait and do battle with it tomorrow with the tools otherwise I will be looking for advice on dismantling the dashboard!

iantt Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 ok, was worth a try, if it worked then it would show m or v then 5 or 6 numbers, cant remember how many.ll when you have the keys , just insert them the right way round, the curved face inwards. push in until you hear a click on each one. then pull both of one side inwards then pul towards you , this should release one side, then do same with other 2 . good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
