Radio Code

[Puzzled001]

Hi, I have had to change the battery on my Ford Torneo Connect 2 . The radio now does not work and I have been told I have to enter a code , a) how do I find out what the code is ? and b) how do I enter it given that the radio will not switch on ?. I do not have an owners manuel . Any help appreciated

Go to a Ford dealer, they will give you the code (if you can prove you own the car).

We are not allowed to give out codes on this web sites.

Thanks VHG, I'll get them to fix it when it goes in for service in a couple of weeks, till then ,peace, perfect peace,although I'll have difficulty getting my grandaughter to believe me !

As Methyl says, if you haven't already done it, pull the radio out. Its often printed somewhere.

Thanks methyl & Svejk , unfortunately the radio/cd is built in to the dashboard . I can't see how to remove it and I don't want to meddle and have 'er indoors' on my back if I break something

Puzzled, a child can safely remove a radio from a dashboard (often do around here ;))
There's a small hole in each corner of the radio. Either borrow or buy ( couple of quid ) U shaped springed wire key, insert & the radio will slide out.
I've made it sound more complicated than it is. It really is child's play. I'd be surprised if the code isn't on there. Let us know how you get on.

Why would they put the code on the side of the radio, when the idea is that the code prevents anyone else from using that radio if it gets stolen.
If you have'nt got the code ... then the radio is no good to you . so it is less likely to get stolen in the first place.

Sorry for late reply, I've been been away and don't use an 'unsmart' phone ! there a menace !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Svejk, no holes around my radio and as 'alavahalf' says, why would they put the number on the radio ? that's about as sensible of putting your pin number on your bank card !!
