Radio wont work

thats the code u manually punch in the radio number buttons to renergize the radio an take it out of lockup mode. wont play in this mode. any time the battery is disconnected on the vehicle this code will need entered in radio to make it work again. your owners manual should have code in it or written on a card. this is if ur radio is stolen it cant be used till the RADIO CODE is entered.

Who replaced the battery ? Didn't have external battery supply hooked up ? Read this Battery Disconnect or Replacement Problems You will need to take it to the dealer !

May need radio code re input.did you disconnect the battery before this happened.?

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 vehicle manufacturer's service centre and get them to enter this code for you.

on many cars to unlock radio, you have to go or call dealership to find out how to put in correct code.if its the factory model. good-day !

After battery dis-connect you drop power to the radio. You need to re-insert the code

hello duk.... Often when the battery is disconnected on newer vehicles you need a code to reactivate the radio. Call your local Ford dealership for this code. Joe

Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery for 3 minutes, and try again. The error message shouldnt be on when you insert the radio code, it wont work. I sure hope that the battery inside the radio didnt die, because it wont be able to retain the code, or the station presets. You will be amazed at how much better the aftermarket radios are. If unable to bring it back to life, do not hesitate replacing it with a well known brand. Most come with inputs to play pendrives and Ipods.

thats because its a key code security device once you disconnect its power source the radio will automatically lock itself to prevent theft but you can take it to a shop that sells radios and they can reset it for you but its impossible to diy because you need a computer to programme the microchip so take it to a shop m8 otherwise it wont work mine did the same hope i helped :)

With the radio in safe mode, you have to disconnect the battery again to reset the radio so you can enter the right radio code. If you don't have the radio code or it's wrong, keep me posted. be glad to help you get your radio working again. Good luck, friend.
