FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Why is my 3000 Traffic asking for a code?
It lost power and the anti-theft lock activated. These classic units are simple and reliable, enter the correct code and it plays on like nothing happened.
Where is the serial on a 3000 Traffic?
On the label on the unit casing, a letter followed by six digits, usually starting M or V. The unit comes out with standard release keys and the label is on the top or side.
Can the 3000 Traffic show its serial on screen?
Some units will with buttons 1 and 6 held together while the radio is on. It costs nothing to try before reaching for the release keys.
How do I enter the code?
With CODE 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 5 to confirm. The radio unlocks straight away with the right code.
The car is a classic and the radio is original. Does that matter?
Not at all, it helps. Original units decode cleanly from the label serial regardless of age, and keeping the original radio in a classic Ford is usually worth more than swapping it.
