How to find your Ford serial number

The guide below will show you exactly where to find your Ford radio serial number.

V-Series · Press 1 + 6
Get your serial from the screen
Turn on the ignition and radio. Hold buttons 1 and 6 simultaneously for about two seconds until a serial appears on screen. It starts with V followed by 6 digits (e.g. V062049). Write it down exactly. If nothing appears after two attempts, try buttons 2 and 6 instead.

Fitted to Fiesta, Focus, Mondeo, Transit, Galaxy and most Ford models up to 2008.
M-Series · Press 2 + 6
Get your serial from the screen
On some Sony MP3 and RDS models hold buttons 2 and 6 simultaneously for about two seconds. The serial starts with M followed by 6 digits (e.g. M085814). If the serial appears in two halves on screen combine them into one string without a space.

The M serial is also printed on the label on the back of the unit if you need to remove it.
Remove the Radio
Remove the radio to find your serial
Insert DIN release keys into the four corner holes of the fascia and apply gentle outward pressure. The unit slides forward, no wires need disconnecting.

The serial is on a sticker on the back or side of the unit. It may start with V, M, L, C7 or BP depending on the manufacturer, enter it exactly as shown on the label including the prefix letter.
MK7 / MK8 · Z / A Prefix
Get your serial from the screen
Press buttons 1 and 6 as above. From 2008 the serial starts with Z (2008–2017) or A (2018 to present) followed by 6 digits. Enter all 7 characters including the letter prefix. Z and A serials are decoded using the same method.

Fitted to Fiesta MK7+, Focus MK3+, Mondeo MK4+ and most Ford models from 2008 onwards.
Ford TravelPilot
Remove the unit to find your serial
The Ford TravelPilot is a built-in touchscreen navigation unit. You will need to remove the unit to find the serial, insert release keys into the four corner holes and slide it forward.

The serial is on a sticker on the back of the unit. It starts with BP (2001–2007, e.g. BP0511 4 4343660) or C7 (later models, e.g. C7E3F0965D2365719). Enter the full string exactly as shown including the prefix.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I display the serial on a Ford Sony radio?
Hold buttons 1 and 6 at the same time. The serial will appear on screen in the same way as the 6000 CD. Some Sony units require a slightly different combination, covered in the guide above.
Is the Ford Sony radio code the same process as the 6000 CD?
Yes. Both use an on-screen serial retrieved by button combination, and both use the same ordering and delivery process. The Sony branding simply indicates the unit manufacturer.
Which Ford models had Sony radios?
Sony units were fitted to a range of Ford models including the Fiesta, Focus, Mondeo, Kuga and S-Max depending on trim level. They were more common in higher specification vehicles. You can decode any of those from the main Ford radio code page.
What does a Ford Sony serial look like?
The letter V followed by six digits, for example V054321. Hold presets 1 and 6 with the unit switched on and the serial appears on the display. Sony DAB and CD132 units follow the same pattern; if nothing appears, the serial is on the label on the casing.
Is the code the same after a battery change?
Yes. The Sony unit asks for the same code after every power loss. One code covers the life of the radio, however many times the battery is changed.
How fast will my Sony code arrive?
Instantly. Ford Sony codes are displayed on screen the moment your order goes through, with a copy sent by email.
