I've just brought a '05 transit but the radio code written on the back doesn't work. The serial number is M471749. Any help would be greatly appreciated, many thanks, Pete

Brilliant! Cheers hay88. 5688 worked.
Just out of interest, how do you work out the code? Is there an algorithm that is used on the serial #, or is it a case of a 'black box' computer program (Serial # in, code out)?
Thanks again, Pete

PeteT
code 5688 / 8184
Switch the radio on and the word CODE should appear in the display

Repeatedly press button 1 until the correct first digit of the code is displayed.
Repeatedly press button 2 until the correct second digit of the code is displayed.
Repeatedly press button 3 until the correct third digit of the code is displayed.
Repeatedly press button 4 until the correct fourth digit of the code is displayed.


Once the code has been correctly selected on the radio's display, press button 5 to enter.
