Each code is unique to each car as far as I understand. The dealer is being extremely unfair in charging you for a piece of information which should have come free inside your manual. If I were you, I would contact your local Trading Standards office.

the page in the stereo book that the code is on is missing so they saying i have lost it maybe the previous owner has it. But i got a 200 mile round trip tomorrow with no music!!so was hoping someone here could help us thanks for reply tho might try that on monday see what they say

Maybe you could take a portable CD player along? Sorry I can't be of more help.

hi i have a small program that calculates the code for ford radios and that tells me that your code is 468, hope this works if not sorry.

Cheers for the code but i thought it had to be a 4 digit code?? thats what it says in the book

Not much help but I had a Ford years ago and the battery got disconnected. Think I paid about �10 to get if from my 'friendly' Ford dealer. Way over the top but what do you do otherwise?

Your code is 9194.
