Radio/audio cassette player

Note: Special tools are required to remove the radio.

Coding

1. If an audio unit with a special code is installed on the car, if this unit and / or battery is disconnected, the unit will cease to function after it is connected until the appropriate code is entered. Detailed information about this, depending on the block and year of manufacture, is provided in the Ford Audio Manual, which is supplied with the new car, and the code itself is recorded on the radio passport and / or code label. Before disconnecting the battery, make sure 8 you have the required code.

2. In safety circuits, this procedure is not described in this manual. If you do not have a code or a procedure description, but you can verify ownership and have a legitimate reason for obtaining such information, contact dealers who can help you.

3. Please note that coded blocks allow a maximum of ten attempts to enter the code. If the first three consecutive attempts to enter the code were unsuccessful, then you need to pause (30 min) before the next attempt. Each subsequent attempt can be performed only after the same pause.
