a radio code for a fredy festa without having to book it in at the Ford dealer? They told me to go down on TUESDAY!!! Friggin TUESDAY!!!!

 

dont you usually post up the serial number on here and someone will supply the code shortly?
i did with my transit stereo.

 

Get me the serial number and I should be able get the code. I'm sure others on here can do it as well

 

How do i get the serial number?

 

It'll be on the back of the radio.....

 

On the top of the radio probably, or possibly the back, starts with "M"

 

Its all built in! Ill never be able to get it out!

 

which mark of Fiesta is it?

 

You need some radio removal tools then M. I've some here!

 

Er...........

i honestly have NO idea!

Its Blue! does that help?

 

lol, what reg is it?

 

I dont even know that cos its got a private plate on it

 

Is it like this???

 

Does it look more like this



or this?

 

To get the radio out if its one of the larger ones slide a small spoon down the side then it should pop out,and then you can get the code

 

If it's a MK6 you can get the serial without removing the radio

 

Its like the blue one you just posted!

2001 according to my insurance!

 

That's buggered that then! That would be a MK5. If it were a MK6 you simply turn on the radio, hold 6 and tap 2 and the serial appears on the display.

Got any thin screwdrivers or a wire coathanger, lol? Or a slim knife?

 

Or do you have the handbooks? Have been ignoring the obvious that it might be in there, lol.

 

I am not attacking someone else cars with any sharp instruments! PMSL!

Ill be right back....

 

Ok, its got 4 little square holes on the face and im assuming you need the tooly things to put in there!

 

usually poking some nails or similar long thin objects in those holes will alow it to slide out.

 

Yeah, slim stiff wire will do the trick, anything like that

 

have you got 4 nail's, put them in each hole and pull, obviously im still talking about the radio.

iv got the programme to get the code if you can.

ooooooooooooh no! I darent!!

Its not my car so id never forgive meself if i scratched or broke owt!

 

Use a wire coat hanger and bend it into two 'u' shapes, push them in and it'll slide right out, you won't scratch anything.

 

Do it that way ^^^^^ and you won't damage owt, no chance!

 

actually, ive just thought... im pretty sure its reached it ten attempts on the code too!

 

No problem, can get round that!

 

oh!

ok

Er..... i dont have a wire coat hanger

 

Do you have anything you could make look like this.....

 

oooooo its alright for rich people

I still have wire hangers, and what?

 

Well its not obviously alright is it cos i could genuinley do with one right now

Mal - no

 

a couple of chopsticks from the local chinese? or those cocktail sticks that everyone has a box of in the back of a kitchen cupboard? B+Q's open until , nip in and steal some 3" nails.

 

Try this, i used something similar when the radio in my MK5 wanted a PIN

They're only small holes in the facia, how about the metal hair pin things?

 

Right, ive scabbed a metal hanger off me neighbour!

wish me luck!

 

Maria + Metal hanger + MK5 Fiesta Radio + almost 30 years of age = OH HOLY MOTHER OF GOD

 

your neighbour might not be to impressed when you hand back a bent and wonky coat hanger.

 

I've just got off the phone to M, and what can I say but.........
