locked car stereo

[Venturiefect]

I have a Ford 2006 stereo in my car which has locked me out. I am no longer able to enter a code. Any suggestions?

Check the manual for a default code - should work unless you've changed it - it'll be under the section where you get the info to change the battery and what to do next

As you enter more incorrect codes, there is an increasing lockout period - wait until this has lapsed before trying again.

A Ford dealer should be able to supply you with the correct code given proof of ownership - don't believe there is a default.

try www.wigancars.co.uk .They will be much cheaper than a main agent.

If you succeed, good luck to you! Have the same problem with my Nissan second-hand Micra after I let the battery run down one day. Tried to get it sorted when i had a service at the dealers, but head office were unable to supply the correct code.

You can pop into any car stereo/alarm shop and they will unlock it for you for about �10-20. They should be able to provide you with a new code.
