Ford radio unlocking

Question

I have a Ford Ka and need to re-enter the code. I have removed the radio and have the code (some nice person wrote it on the top of the radio) but I cannot get the "Locked" message off the screen on the radio to enter the code. Any ideas?

Answer 1

There are two types of locks - if you have entered an incorrect code too many times it may be a garage visit (Lock13)

Lock10 is when you have entered an incorrect code 10 times (I think) and can be cleared by holding the "6" button while turning the unit on.

Then you enter the security code the normal way:

Display Shows CODE with " - - - - "

Press Preset Button 1 until the 1st digit is set, then do the same for digits 2, 3 and 4.

Then press Preset Button 5 to Enter
