I obtained a car with a flat battery and no radio code.
The Ford radio has this these markings
FORD 96DA-18B865-CATSE
Serial # 10457337
Bar code 812067H 301045733
Owner came good with the number. No further advice needed. Thanks

Hi Tony, your serial number doesn't look like any ford unit as they normally begin with a letter A,C,L or M and they only have six digits this is normally found on stickers on the unit or engraved into the side
