The serial number is on a label at the back of the radio. With this model you must remove the radio from the dash to find it.
If it is a European Ford the serial will look like M123456. You can try this site for the code once you have the serial as they are cheap and reliable for decoding Fords.
Otherwise your local dealer will get you this code for around £25.
See video below for instructions on removing the radio.

Quick and free fix sir or maam.The radio locks up when the battery is removed on today's cars.I don't know who decided to start it but it is somewhat stupid...I think anyhow.All you have to do is call a Ford dealer and they will give you the code and method to unlock your stereo.Write it down because your battery may get disconnected for many other reasons than a dead battery when repaired.I am pretty sure they just need the VIN.You can put aftermarket stereos in too if you ever want to.Good luck!

Regretfully due to reasons of theft or piracy we do not pass the radio codes here at FixYa. If you contact your local Mercedes-Benz dealer they will give you the 5 digit code. (You must have your registration and know the complete serial number of the radio)
I am not sure what you want to program? The radio presets or the entire radio. I don't believe that you have to program a radio to a specfic vehicle from Ford in 2000. I think you can just swap them out and they should work. The 2006 and 2007 you have to program the radio to the vehicle. If you are just trying to set the presets just hold the button in for about 3 or 4 seconds and the preset will be on there. If you are trying to diagnose a problem with the radio then hold the preset #5 and #6 at the same time for at least 2 seconds and release them. It will go into a self test mode and check the system out. To exit the diag procedure wait at least 10 seconds from touching any other buttons then press preset #6 to exit. Good luck.
