  • Ford Ka - Incorrect radio code 26 Sep 2023 (Forum)
    Hi We’ve recently bought our daughter her first car. It’s a Ford Ka 2011. It’s a lovely little car, however, the radio doesn’t work and the code given to us with the car doesn’t work. The radio is a Fiat B420 Low and the serial number is 5230282232231004204335. There are other numbers on the label but none work when we put them in to the code generators online.
  • Ford Mondeo Edge 2.0 cdti - Radio code 19 Mar 2017 (Forum)
     Is this normal? Any videos I saw on YouTube, the radio came on when button 5 was pressed.  Have I done something wrong?
  • Ford Fiesta - 62 Ford Fiesta radio 8 Jul 2016 (Forum)
    I left my stupid lights on by accident and the battery died, so I had to jumpstart it with my dad's car. Now the radio, aux, and all the others are gone. There's no light or anything, it isn't asking for the code as well. How do I fix this? I just got the car a month ago, I don't even know the serial for the radio unit so I can't get the code (if that was to solve it).

  • Volkswagen Golf IV (1998 - 2004) - Radio codes 15 Nov 2015 (Forum)
    Does anyone know if the Gamma radio in my 02 Golf will "remember" its code if I disconnect the battery? The manual says some models have "convenience coding" whereby if it's the original radio (it is) the car somehow recognises the unit and you wont have to enter a code.
  • Ford Fiesta - Ford Radio 4500 RDS EON problem 6 Jan 2015 (Forum)
    Hi all, Car is back from the garage today and the radio doesn't want to work now. The battery has been disconnected as the time on the dash seems to have reset itself. Radio turns on and off ok, but doesn't display anything. No code, no warning, nothing.

  • Ford Fiesta - Ford Fiesta Radio Help & Code 7 Feb 2014 (Forum)
    Hi!  I've fixed up a write off Ford Fiesta and am missing music!  I don't have the radio code (M055592) if anyone could help with this please.  But also when I start the ignition the radio shows P871 0BA.  Any ideas?  It flashes now and again, have tried fiddling with it and sometimes the 'CODE ----' comes up, haven't got further than that because I don't have the code, but not sure if I need to do something to fix the other issue first.

    I have a 2002 307 with the RB3 radio cassette player, have just got hold of a Baupunkt IDC A09 CD changer which I know is the exact model used in the higher spec motors than mine, my question is, will there be some 'specialist' connections required to connect the cd to the radio, I am wondering whether Peugeot will have modified the RB3 so that customers have to buy the CD changer through there dealers (at around £250)?
