Ford C Max Radio Codes

Turn the ignition on and switch the radio on, so it shows CODE or KEYCODE. Hold buttons 1 and 6 together for about 3 seconds.

A few lines scroll past, which can take 20 to 30 seconds, and the serial comes last: V and 6 digits, for example V062049. If it shows in two halves, enter it as one with no space. Some 2004 to 2007 radios show M and 6 digits instead, or a longer line such as FDD2006M078787: enter the M and the 6 digits at the end.

Nothing after two tries? The serial is also on the label on the radio casing, next to SERIAL NO.

Fitted to the Focus, Fiesta, Fusion, C-Max, Mondeo, S-Max, Galaxy, Kuga and Transit from 2004 to 2012.

Switch the radio on so it asks for the KEYCODE. Hold buttons 1 and 6 together. Lines scroll across the screen for about 30 seconds and the serial comes last, so have your phone ready to film the screen.

It shows as SN SOCD and a string of letters and digits, for example SN SOCD1X8V006383. Your serial is the V and the 6 digits at the end: V006383. You can also enter the whole line and we will read the serial from it.

The same line is printed on the label on the radio casing. Some early Sony radios (2004 to 2007) have an M serial on the label instead.

Fitted to the Focus, C-Max, Mondeo, S-Max, Galaxy and Kuga from 2005 to 2012, with or without DAB and the 6 CD changer.

Ford sat nav units only have the serial on the label. That covers the TravelPilot FX and NX and the later touchscreen navigation units. Push the radio removal tools into the four holes in the corners, slide the unit out and read the label on the casing.

The serial starts with C7 (usually C7E3) and has 17 letters and digits, for example C7E3F0946D2894250. Enter all 17 with no spaces. If 815 is printed in front of it, leave the 815 off. It is not the 7 612 number, which is the part number.

Older TravelPilots (2001 to 2007) have a BP serial instead: BP and 12 digits, for example BP0511 4 4343660.

Later Ford radios, from about 2010, can have a serial starting Z or A. It does not show on the screen, so the radio has to come out of the dash to read the label.

The serial is on the label on the casing, next to SERIAL NO.: Z or A and 6 digits, for example Z086652 or A014420. Enter the letter and the 6 digits.
