Please could you help, i was messing about checking the fuses in my car and pulled the wrong fuse....... result....... radio needs code input to work. I have checked the handbook for code, with no joy. I was wondering if there is a default code...... i dont fancy paying shed loads of money at the Ford dealers.

The radio is .... FORD RDS E-O-N
cd changer compatible

Many thanks.

Do they not just give it to you when you provide your V5?

That's wonderfully secure :) I had mine (when I had a stereo with a code) written on the back of the passenger sun visor.

We have one of those in our Ford Mondeo Estate...but our code is in the handbook, on a credit card type pull off card....Have you something like that amongst your car documents??

:(

Can you take out the pen and then replace it - doesn't that reset the code too...:confused:
