Default Cheapest way to get Ford original radio code?

Hi

The radio is mine !!!!!!!!!!!!

We've had a Mondeo for 5 yrs, today i disconnected the battery for the first time, when i went to the Audio book, there are no codes or stickers in the book . Well pissed off TBH.

It's the original Sony 6cd unit. It is diplaying me a serial number.

Anyone know how much Ford charge for a code or any alternative ways to get the code cheaper.

thanks

Most audio shops can do it for £10/£15 but 1st take out stereo sometimes the code is stuck to it on a sticker

2 different types of remoal pins, some like thin pins with hooks on the ends, some use scalpel type pins
you need 4 so 2 pairs

pm ginge!

he should be able to give you prices from ford, the last time i checked they were in the region of £25-£30 and you have to bring in all the documentation to prove that you own the car and that it's the correct radio for that vehicle
