Before you pay for a radio code
Your Ford radio code may already be somewhere in the car or its paperwork. The checks below are free and take a few minutes. We list them honestly – if one of them works, you don't need our service.
Whatever you do, don't try random codes: after a few wrong attempts the stereo makes you wait, and after 10 it locks itself (LOCKED10, then LOCKED13).
Free ways to find your Ford radio code
- The radio code card. New Fords came with a small card (often credit-card size) showing the radio serial and the 4-digit "Keycode". Check the owner's manual wallet, the service book and the car purchase documents.
- Stickers in the car. Many owners stick the code in the glove box, inside the fuse box cover, in the boot or near the spare wheel. It's worth a quick look.
- The previous owner or the seller. If you bought the car used, the dealer or previous owner may still have the card or a note of the code.
- A Ford dealer. Ford dealers can usually look up the code if you bring proof of ownership (for example the V5C logbook) and ID. Some do it free, others charge a small fee, and you may have to wait.
- Your garage. If a garage disconnected the battery, ask them – they often have a way to recover the code for their customers.
When paying is the better option
- The card is lost and the car is too old or second-hand for the dealer to help quickly.
- The radio was replaced, so the code on the card no longer matches.
- You need the radio working today. With our service you enter the serial, see the price for your country before paying, and get the code on the page straight away.

I tried this site and it worked 100% correctly on my radio! Ford dealer told me he also can provide for free visiting them, but having the option to receive the code via Internet, with a fast response time is ideal. Thank you so much for such a great service!
