Sony Radio Code

[StevesFocusX]

Hi I purchased a second fully working Sony DAB radio 2013 version, hadn't done my homework 100% and it's not the one for me so I have sold it back on. The buyer is asking for the original car chassis/vin to get the unlock code? Would it not be his car chassis/vin, or just the s/n off of the main radio unit I am giving him to get the code from Fords?

 

Any info to point him in the right direction to get the code would be much appreciated.

They don't have radio codes. Should be plug and play.

Ah ok? Not the impression I was under from previous threads. I thought your cars factory fitted radio was matched at installation and that's why it can be taken out put back/ battery disconnected etc. But if it was to be put in another car, or another radio into my car it would need a code?

Not saying your not correct, I just wanted it clarified either way before I give the seller incorrect info that's all. If it doesn't need a code that would make life easier.

I never had a problem on my Fiesta.

Just swapped it over and it didn't want any codes. As far as I know, people have done the same with the Focus.

I don't know where the idea of VIN came from, it might have even been from the manual, but Ford are known to put mistakes in their manuals...
