It is a solvable task for a car enthusiast to independently decode a radio tape recorder in Ford. You only need to know the code or serial number of the device. Further, improvised means will come to the rescue, thanks to which the radio tape recorder will work in a matter of minutes.
It is necessary
- - radio tape recorder
- - instruction
- - vin code
- - serial number of the radio
- - a program for selecting a code
- - documents for the car
Instructions
Step 1
Examine the vehicle interior carefully. The code sticker can be glued in any convenient (or not so) place. The most common places: inside the glove compartment, on the radio itself.
Step 2
If the sticker is not found in the passenger compartment, remove the radio tape recorder from the slot. Firstly, it can be manually written or glued on the code. Secondly, you need to do this in order to write off the serial number and vin code. Thanks to this data, you will be able to independently select the code via the Internet.
Step 3
If a code is found on the car radio, enter it. To do this, turn on the system. Wait for the label on the display, which prompts you to use the code. Input in Ford radios is done indirectly. Press button 1 until the first digit of the code appears on the display. In the same way, using 2 - 3 - 4, enter the rest of the numbers. If the code is entered correctly, confirm your choice. The radio should turn on automatically. Be careful: there are only 10 attempts, after which you will have to go to the auto center.
Step 4
In the second option (the code was not found), write off the serial number of the radio (starts with a Latin letter, after which six digits) and the vin code.
Step 5
Install the program to generate the radio code on your computer. At the same time, take advantage of online resources on this topic. Enter the serial number and vin-code in the form requested by the generator. Click the Start button. Wait for the result.
Step 6
Write down the code you received from the system. Insert it into the radio as described above. If this option for obtaining the code did not give a positive result, contact the thematic forum for help.
Step 7
There are no code generators for some serial numbers. In this case, you need to contact the service center. If the radio is a regular one, then by the serial number and vin-code they will say the unlocking key-code.
