Guest gandalftheking Posted October 1, 2006 Report Posted October 1, 2006 Hi Guys I recently put a new battery in my (UK) Ford Focus W Reg, and obviously have to re-enter the unique four digit keycode to get the cd player to work again. Well, I have the number (its printed clearly so I know it's the right code) and the manual says: insert first code digit by pressing button one (the buttons normally used for selecting cd's from the changer) on the player repeatedly until you "scroll" to the correct number. Easy enough; then enter 2nd 3rd and 4th keycode digit by using buttons 2, 3, 4 on the player in the same way. Then press button 5 to enter. I've carefully done this process 4 times, and each time it gives me the "wait 30:00 mins" message (this happens when you incorrectly enter the code). If this keeps happening it'll permanently lock, and I'll be at the mercy of the Ford dealer! Has anyone had experience of this issue? Thanks. Quote
mumof4 Posted October 1, 2006 Report Posted October 1, 2006 welcome gandalf, as you can imagine we get a lot of people asking for help with keycodes, and if you have searched then you will know this.We have to be careful im afraid as this subject is hot!.The Ford dealers i have dealt with have freely given their help in regards to keycodes, all i have done is had to prove ownership..some on here havent even had to do that. As for why it wont accept the keycode i dont know,i can only think that the code may be wrong..have you entered this code before? you could try this site here.. www.ffoc.co.uk Quote

mumof4 Posted October 1, 2006 Report Posted October 1, 2006 I know that when we got our car, the code in the manual was not the right one...ours was written on top of the head unit..try taking it out and having a gander.otherwise, im as baffled as you as to why it wont accept the code. the ffoc is the ford focus owners club.
