How do I find my serial number?

On many Ford stereos, you can display the serial number on the screen without removing the unit from the dashboard:

  1. Turn on the ignition
  2. Hold down buttons 1 and 6 for three seconds
    (if nothing happens, try 2 and 6)
  3. Your serial number should appear on the screen

Alternatively, the serial number will be printed on a label on the back of the radio unit. You will need to remove the unit from the dashboard to see it.

About this page

This page now searches the full database of V- and M-series Ford radio codes. All for free.

The codes apply to Ford 3000, 4000, 4500, 5000 and 6000 stereos found in Escort, Fiesta, Focus, Mondeo and Transit models.

I built it because it was a pain finding my own code when my car battery died. I hope it's a help to others.

Feel free to buy me a coffee.

Or perhaps it's time to upgrade to a stereo with Android Auto / Carplay?
