Where is the serial number on a Ford Fiesta radio?

On most Fiestas you can read it on the display: switch the radio on and hold buttons 1 and 6 (6000 CD, Sony) or 2 and 6 (Sound 2000, 4000/5000 RDS) until a serial like V123456 appears. Otherwise it is printed on the label on the side or top of the radio casing, reachable after pulling the unit out with removal keys.

Does this work for a Fiesta Mk7 (2008–2017)?

Yes. The Mk7's 6000 CD and Sony CD/DAB units all use a V-series serial (V followed by six digits) and are fully supported. Only the Fiesta Mk8 from 2017 with the SYNC 3 touchscreen has no radio code.

My Fiesta radio says WAIT or LOCKED 10 – what should I do?

Too many wrong attempts have triggered a temporary lockout. Leave the ignition and the radio switched on for 30 to 60 minutes; the display returns to CODE and you can enter the correct code from this page. Never keep guessing: after ten wrong entries the radio shows LOCKED 13 and can no longer be unlocked with a code.

Ford Fiesta radio code

The Fiesta is Britain's best-selling car of the last two decades, which is why "Ford Fiesta radio code" is one of the most common searches after a battery change or a fuse fault. The fix is simple: read the M or V serial number from your radio, enter it above and get the original four-digit code free. It works on every Fiesta from the 1995 Mk4 up to the last Mk7 without a SYNC touchscreen.

How to get your Ford Fiesta radio code in 3 steps

Display the serial number. Switch the radio on and press and hold preset buttons 1 and 6 together (older M-series units: 2 and 6) until a serial such as V123456 or M123456 appears. No luck? The serial is also printed on the label on the radio casing.
Enter the serial in the generator above. The original factory code for your radio is calculated instantly and shown on screen. The service is free; a small donation lets you skip the short wait timer.
Enter the code on the radio. With CODE or four dashes on the display, press preset 1 repeatedly for the first digit, 2 for the second, 3 for the third and 4 for the fourth, then press and hold 5 until the radio beeps and plays.

Which radios are fitted to the Ford Fiesta?

Fiesta Mk4 and Mk5 (1995–2002) were fitted with the Ford Sound 2000, 3000 Traffic, 4000 RDS or 5000 RDS – M-series radios, serial shown by holding 2 and 6. Fiesta Mk6 (2002–2008) moved to the 4500 RDS-EON and the 6000 CD, with either M or V serials. Fiesta Mk7 (2008–2017) uses the 6000 CD or the Sony CD/DAB head unit – V-series serials, displayed by holding 1 and 6. Fiesta Mk8 (2017 onward) with SYNC 3 has no radio code.

Serial number does not start with M or V?

Then your radio uses a different security system and this generator cannot calculate its code. Fords with a SYNC touchscreen (roughly 2015 onward) do not use a radio code at all: the unit is paired to the car and unlocks by itself after a battery change.
