Car radio serial / radio code

[scorchedbee]

hi all!

I have a 11 plate ford mondeo. The battery died so it has been replaced, I'm trying to obtain a code for my radio unit as it requires a security code now?

I'm not good with car knowledge at all, does anyone have any idea where to find my serial number?

This is my head unit. A blaupunkt travelpilot fx.

Hmmm no idea how to pop this thing out. And ford say I need a serial number to get the code. It's not on any documents I have in the cars folder I have....

Is there a way to get the serial code from the unit itself without pulling it out?

Ps - cheers for the help!! I'm useless with cars

I'll give it a go when I get home! I'll report back with how much damage I cause

So I tried to pull the favia off.... but with no joy, felt like it would snap. May have to just pop to dealership and pay them to do it

Ok will do! Thanks guys!

I'll hold down 6 when I get in! Good shout if that works pal!!!

I tried holding down 6, no joy, no secret menu!

Thanks for the advice. I'll call pop into local dealership when I can

So I still can't acquire my serial to get the code, really can't take the dash off myself as so worried I'll break it, seems so flimsy and doesn't want to come off.

And my local ford want £50 for the bloody privilege of pulling radio out to get at my serial and getting the code online for free. Bloody hell

I'll try it in morning before I drive to work pal. Thanks for your continued help!

Safe to say when I do get the code it'll be written down in the cars paperwork!

Update. Finally got around to taking it all apart. These are the only stickers the unit? Can anyone help

Thanks just put a post on there.

Hartwell near me want £30 to get me the code!
