How do I remove the CD player/radio from the dashboard? I have a 2003 Ford Focus with a Blaplunkt entertainment system.

Faulty Unit, radio and CD are full intergrated

Here is a link with a picture of one alike yours. Look at the very top of it

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

The player will have to be removed from the dashboard and the Serial Number will be on a label on the radio casing

It should begin with M or V or L  or C

Other systems that won't work like the radio or HVAC? Could be the battery saver relay.

Remove the radio from the dashboard and quote the SERIAL NUMBER found on a label on the casing ....normally begins with M * * * * * *

I have a 2001 focus ..radio suddenly stopped playing after being at garage.  I thought that the battery was disconnected and the radio neede reset code, as it has a rad blinking dash anti-theft light.  i went to ford garage and they told me they don't have reset codes on the focus.  Is this true?
