Where do i look for my serial number on my ford s max

Call a dealr or privateshop

if you don't have the code there is not much can be done it would need sending off to be decoded. you maybe lucky and some one has written the code on the unit case but you will not be able to find out until its been removed.

If you go to google play store their are lots of free apps to acsess radio codes if you have the number of the back if the radio

I just found the codes on a ford radio and it may or may not be the same for your radio, but you can try it. If your radio has digital read out on the screen, you simply push down and hold at the same time buttons 1 and 2 and your code should come up. Hope this works for you. Good Luck.

Your Ford dealer should be able to help you.

Hi,


Unfortunately you need the serial number of the radio in order to unlock it. You must remove the radio from the dash and you will find the serial on a sticker on the case. There is no other way round it as the serial of the car is not relevant with these Ford radios unlike some other manufacturers.

For European Ford radios the serial begins with a letter then 6 numbers e,g M123456.

It is this number you must find in order to have the code processed. The radio can be removed from the dash with special tools which you can obtain from the likes of Halfords for around £5. Halfords staff will usually be happy to assist if you need them to pull the unit out for you.

This diagram illustrates the radio removal process for the Ford Focus.

There is no other way to decode the radio. Even Ford themselves need the serial of the radio to retrieve the code but will charge £20 to £35 to provide this.

One alternative is to use this site which does the codes for £3.50. I have used it a number of times for these Ford radios and they are very reliable and cheap compared to Ford.

Hope this helps. Thanks for using FixYa.

the dealer is the only place to get that code and they might make you prove the car is yours

Hi Geof

Your radio code number should read: 5796.

I trust this will do the job.

I have no other code for your model.

Please let me know if this works.

Bye Ray

In most cases, the chassis serial number is hidden underneath the seats or carpet. The best bet to find it, even if it takes a few hours to do, will be to remove all the seats and carpets from the vehicule. That way you will have the whole floor visible and you will have a much better chance to find it. You might also find a cap along the way labeled Chassis Serial Number which will hide the number stamped on the sheet metal, and you won't need to go any further. On my toyota echo 2005 it's hidden underneath such a cap underneath my passeger seat between the 2 mounting bolts for the seat for example.

code is 1316 for m354958 and it cannot be locked out ,disconnect battery for a while think its 12 hrs and it should work
