Car radio code

[bevywevy]

I have a ford escort van, I replaced the battery and now the radio needs a code to enable me to use the radio again, how to a find a code or get round it?

you need the serial number off the radio. it usually begins with M followed by a series of numbers. you will need to pull the radio out to see this number. once you have this, post it here and someone wil be able to calculate the code for you.

Unless you can find the original booklet that come with the radio (It should have the code written/printed on back page) you need to have it de-coded. It'll cost around a �5. I had mine done at www.radiocoding.com so I can recomend them, just give them a call on 028 9146 5744 or 0777 5533 534 and you can sort it on line. Keep a note of code number when you get one for future ref. Good Luck x.

Yes it must be a good site - thats where all the people who steal radios go to get the codes

[bubblegum-31]

hmmmmmm so i presume that you thought it was ok for me to give out the free codes on this site then like i was doing for MONTHS and no one complained!!!
LMAO!!!!

You presume wrongly - I have always thought that it was wrong to give out codes without further checks - I have no objection to them being free at all, and have sometimes said so on this site.
It is too easy for somebody with a stolen radio to get a code. If people (or sites) give them away without a security check - then why have the code in the first place?
