    You cannot unlock this yourself.
    The wrong code has been entered too many times.
    Either a main dealer or an audio specialist and pay the money £££££

Normally there is no way to get out of lock 13 without the reset tool but you can initially try the method below:
 
1. Drivers door open - leave open.
2. Ign. ON. - Use RED key only.
3. Radio ON.
4. Press and hold presets 1, 3 and 6.
5. Ign. OFF then back ON within 1 second.
6. Release presets 1, 3 and 6.
7. Radio OFF.
8. Ign. OFF.

 
If it does not help then you will have to buy E13 reset tool to unlock the lock 13 .
here is the description of the product:==

I get locked 13 on type 4500 3 serial number M145777 Ford Cougar. How can I get unlocked and use the radio?

M145777 code is 9792
============

Unfortunately LOCK13 means that 13 or more wrong codes have been entered previously and can only be reset by a Radio Decoding Service.

There are no free solutions for LOCK13 on the Internet

Hi, I am driving a school mini bus and the radio is locked with the no 13 displayed. It is a 5000rds e.o.n radio can anyone help to clear code. Cheers

Hello Sarah West,

That appears to be an ANTI-THEFT code LOCKOUT...

Check out ebay.co.uk (below)

The instructions say there are internal counters and timers...
but continued TAMPERING absolutely will result in
"PERMANENT LOCK-OUT"

Otherwise... from here your only option is to take YOUR RADIO to an AUTHORIZED DEALER and ask them for the
necessary codes... help... assistance!

My experience with dealers... fix one ... break two (for $65).

Good luck with that.

Ford fiesta radio locked13

Lock 13 is the final code entry on ford radios! You will have to remove the radio and take it to a car audio specialist to have the code entries reset and read the correct code, if you have got to lock 13 the code you are trying to enter is probably wrong!

Ford Fiesta 3000 Triaffic Radio Code Serial No. M543895

When you disconnect your battery and then reconnect it again, it disables the radio. This is an anti-theft protection for your car radio.
The enable your radio the activation code is in your vehicle owner's manual. If you do not have this code you need to go to your Ford service centre and get them to enter this code for you.

My rds 4000 says locked 13 what do i do

Hi,

On a Ford radio there are two levels of security lockdown.

Lock 10 - this means that the radio is locked down through 10 incorrect code entries but there is a secret way of getting it to accept 3 more code attempts - does not apply in this case unfortunately.

Lock 13 - Radio is totally locked down after 13 incorrect code entries. A radio in this state can only be reset by either Ford themselves - warning - expect a 300 (pounds sterling) fee from Ford for this!! Or you can try a professional decoding workshop - charge is usually around 50 pounds.

A radio in Lock13 condition cannot be reset by anything other than specialist software and must be physically connected to a special interface that recodes the unit. Sorry!!

You may well find it is cheaper to source a second hand unit from a breaker or ebay or just buy an aftermarket unit.

Thanks for usinfg FixYa.

LOCKED 13 ON 3000 TRAFFIC RADIO

LOCKED13 means that your radio has had far too many wrong codes entered (more than 13 ) and is now fully locked.

There is no free reset available so will have to be unlocked by your Ford Dealer or a Radio Decoding Service

Sorry

Ford radio code

Try this site, it looks like they charge you for the code, but if you go into a Ford dealer they may give it to you for free (you may need to provide proof of ownership). Make sure the unit does not display LOCK 10 or LOCK 13, as the unit will probably need to be sent away to be cleared. Most dealers don't have the facilities to do this themselves, although they can provide the codes. The site I've linked for you has quite a good description of how to enter the codes.

Hope this helps,
Mark.
