Hi I have a ford fiesta 53 reg with a ford 4500 rds radio in it, but the radio is locked and and i dont have the code or serial number. So i was just wondering if anyone knew how to remove the radio to access the serial number or if theres a master code?
Cheers

Apparently it costs £5 to get the code. Incidentally, note this bit of the page:
I know nothing about how good the company is, though.

I think you have to have 10 quality posts now from memory.
They are required to keep for 5 years I think
Try ringing the originating supplying dealer
Hope this helps
The radio code should be in with your car books like the service history and the manual, however there should be a radio book with them with it in
If you have lost it just go to the Ford dealership and they can find out from your registration number plate, presumably the stereo was factory fitted from new and hasnt been changed
BTW, surely you would want to have a better stereo than the standard Ford one, you can get them cheap on mail order from the Max Power mag
You need keys to pull the stereo out as well should you need to, you get these from Halfords for £3.99 (2 bent wires)
mine cost £15 a few months back.
i just used the method that Sigurd quoted (hold 6 and press 2) to get the serial number, then put the number on some other message board that i found through google and someone replied with the code not long after - so it cost me nothing!
Also I couldn't just pull the radio out - you cant do that in fiestas from 02-05(i think) as the radios are built behind the panel with 3 different sections appearin through 3 different holes cut out in the centre panel.
Also iv lost all the books so couldn't get the code from them.
Thanks for the help everyone
In the end we went to a Rover garage and they kindly fixed it for us for free. It was all to do with typing a nought at the beginning of the code.
Could you try going to a Ford garage and asking them to help you?
