LOCKED OUT OF YOUR FORD RADIO? GET THE CODE FROM ITS SERIAL NUMBER Changed the battery or disconnected it, and now the radio asks for a code? Ford Radio Code Generator recovers the original anti-theft code of your radio from its serial number — no dealership visit, no waiting for an appointment. HOW IT WORKS 1. Find the serial. On most Ford radios (6000 CD, 4500 RDS, 5000 RDS, Sony, Travelpilot…) hold buttons 1 and 6 and it appears on the display — or read it from the label on the radio's casing. 2. Type it in, or scan the label with the camera. The app recognises the radio and shows the price before you pay. 3. Pay securely through the App Store. The code is delivered right in the app, you get a notification the moment it is ready, and it stays saved under Codes. WHAT YOU GET • Codes for Ford 6000 CD, 4500 RDS, 5000 RDS, 6006 CDC, Sony, Travelpilot, Visteon, Blaupunkt, Bosch, Sanyo and Becker units — V and M series serials (V079080, M006033), Blaupunkt (C7E3F0695A3309194), Sony (SOCD1X7V000922) and Sanyo (288236709312) formats • Step-by-step instructions to enter the code, next to the code itself • Money-back guarantee: if the code does not work on your radio, you are refunded • Human support from the help screen, in the app • Order history kept on this device — no account needed • Available in 13 languages Prices depend on the radio model and are shown before purchase. Most codes arrive within minutes; a few models are looked up by hand and can take longer — you are notified when the code is ready.
