ORD V SERIAL NUMBER CODES
If your radio has the Ford V Serial Number then it will not normally be available for free as access is required to the Ford factory database (unless you can blag it for free from Ford)
A recommended reliable place is here
www.ukbookshelf.co.uk/fordv
Mention this Forum
Otherwise try your Ford Dealer or a Radio Decoding Service

Make sure you are quoting the correct Serial Number as any numbers found in car documents , audio guides etc. are often incorrect.
Sometimes pressing buttons 6 & 1 together or 6 & 2 will display this number
Otherwise remove the radio from the dashboard and post the SERIAL NUMBER found on a label on the casing
Radio removal instructions can be found here

Thanks for the info. I have now removed the unit and can confirm the serial number is V341134 I have phoned the local ford dealer who want me to book the car in and says it is £25.00 to sort the code. A little harsh when it takes 30 seconds to generate a code. I think I will use the service mentioned above as it is quite reasonable.
