  • Radio Help please

    Postby The Valet Mann » Thu May 17, 2012 2:49 pm

    Hi all.

    Just got van back from garage. I'm assuming they have disconnected battery as radio now displays code. Need tools to remove radio to get serial number. Van is a 2007 transit with 6000cd radio in it. It needs 4 little insert tools. Same as fiestas and other fords. Does anyone have said tools I could borrow please?

    You sir are a genius! Your guess is also correct. No service book and no codes. I can get the code if I have the serial number and part number. That requires removing the radio!

    Pugguy to the rescue :D

    If it was pre 2007 you could use a coat-hanger cut into 4 bars... but the 2007 onwards uses 4 special flat key's - typical ehh! I think I have every type of radio removal key aquired over time..

    Indeed. Looks like I will have to visit sooner. Need radio in van!!
    Its best after 7 for me on most nights. Is that cool with you? Alternatively I may have a valet in Douglas that I can pop in afterwards. I'll be in touch :thumbup:

    I've found a screwdriver always works, however as its a newish van you may not want to damage the dash.......


    Seem to be pretty handy giving codes out here : http://www.unlockforum.com/showthread.p ... ode/page19

    Thanks for the input chaps. It is now sorted. A very good person off another forum (ford transit) manged to get me a code without removing my radio or anything. Genius :hello1:
