[mog9166]

Hi
I recently sold a Ford 6000NE cd/radio on ebay which when it left me as far as Im aware was working fine. The buy has a problem, to save time heres what he wrote:
"hi there,
on receipt of the cd unit, i put it in my car and as the plugs are like for like this was pretty straight forward, i entered the code you you gave me and the unit came on as i expected, there was already a cd in the unit ( foo-fighters ) i removed this, checkced the radio etc and all seemed to be in order, i then put in one of my own cd's, it started to play as normal and al seemed fine, THEN, just as my cd got to track 3 the unit asked for the code, i thought that to be a bit starange, however i tried to enter the code and the unit would NOT allow this, infact, THE UNIT WILL NOT ALLOW ANYTHING, it switches on and off and thats all, it wont even ecejt my cd, "

As I said all worked when I took it out of my car. Can anyone give me any advice to advice him please on what to try and get it to work?

you need the serial number so i can check the code

[mog9166]

on to it

[mog9166]

M053910 --- code ; 2328

[Ray]

M053910 --- code ; 2328

that is the correct code.

can't think why this is happening it worked when the code was first input so should work now unless he as locked the unit by putting wrong code in more than 10 times sorry can't be of any help.

hi,
1st, thanks for your responce, i have checked all the wiring as like i said it was a straight like for like re-plug and fuses are all in order, prior to fitting the cd player i had the ford radio cassette.
i have completley disconnected the unit and refitted and still all that comes up on the display is ( code ) but it does not allow you to enter the code, it appears like all the buttons and funcions are disabled, thats the part i find most strange as when i 1st put the unit in all the buttons were working as normal then the whole unit just seemed to shut down, it still has power going to it but thats it, ( nothing else )
any assistance you can ofer in this matter ie; speaking to your mechanic etc would be greatfuly appreciated.
kind regards

Try this

If your radio is displaying CODE after entering an incorrect serial, you have two more attempts before a WAIT 30:00 code displays, meaning there will be a 30 minute delay until you are able to enter another code. Once at 00:00 you can attempt your code once more. If incorrect you can repeat this procedure up to a total of 10 times.

If LOCK10 appears after entering 10 incorrect codes, press and hold the number 6 button while turning on the radio to change from LOCK10 back to CODE. You then have 3 further attempts at the code before LOCK13 appears.

If LOCK13 appears then you will need to take the radio to a Ford Dealer or radio specialist to be unlocked.

However, I have come across this piece of information for any radios displaying LOCK 13. There is no evidence to support this works however but it might be worth a try....

If you know the code and unit is at '13' press and hold button 6 for about 10 to 15 seconds and you will be allowed 1 more chance to enter code and only once, for older ford units hold select + man for 1 more try

The official line is - straight from October update of FORD TIS.
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.

Repeat the above the same number of times that is showing on the display when you started. i.e: 10 or 13.
Please Note that this method will not work with American FIC sets.

Put the key in the ignition and leave the door open for an hour, it will resest the radio to put the right code.

TEN This is one additional attempt. press SELECT + MAN
TEN+ to decode

The radio must be in car, not on your table with external power supply and in a FORD car with original connectors.
