radio code orion

[onebrian]

just changed battery on my m reg orion, anyone know the code for the radio, many thanks if able to help

[Teleph0ne]

the code is random and would be in the handbook for the car or you may still be able to get it from a ford dealer but it will cost you!

As Telephone indicates, radio codes are randomly allocated to radios (and are cross-referenced to the serial number of each radio). It wouldn't be much of an anti-theft measure if every radio, of the same model, had the same code!

There are plenty of websites which offer to provide radio codes (for a fee). The problem with using them is that you need to remove the radio (in order to read the serial number), which can be a remarkably difficult task. Additionally you might find it hard to get your money back if the code you're given doesn't work.

Any Ford main dealer should be able to provide the code from the registration number (or chassis number) of the car. However they have to pay to get it from Ford, and then they add their own profit on. I work for a Ford main dealer; the standard charge seems to be £15.

Don`t tell everyone>>>>>but I was told in secrecy>>>> that if you put it in a freezer for 24hrs you can then put in any code you want. I think it might be worth a try.

Carlton23 is not joking.

My old Vauxhall Cavalier stereo had a front that popped off, when I lost the code I put it in the freezer overnight. The next day I put it back in my car and it worked fine and did not even ask me for a code. I was absolutely amazed?

Hi 36steak36, I`m glad someone takes notice of what I say.
