Hi , we recently disconnected the battery in my AU2 ford falcon station wagon and it once displayed the CODE statement but we entered it in wrong a few times , and now as every wrong attempt has increased time delays it has been 1 month and still says Err.

Some forum posts has said that leave ACC on for 3 hours , some said Half an hour... are these guaranteed times?

Should i disconnect the radio fuse for a few minutes??

We also tried disconnecting the battery and connecting it again and it wont say CODE


any advice would be great , thankyou

turn ignition to accessory position -turn radio on and leave on until changes to CODE - enter correct code -
can take minutes to Hours depending on how many times incorrect code was entered - if you turn off before change to code time starts again
--------------------------------------------
can eventually lock up completely if to many attempts at code and will require to be sent by ford to radio repair shop to be unlocked........

leave fuse in as normally it won't change anything

Thankyou for that , I will try leaving acc on for abit and if that doesn't work looks like I'm getting a new radio or getting this one unlocked , thankyou again

make sure radio and accessory are on not just acc.
suss out wreckers for another radio the same with CODE but keep in mind cost compared to a new unit ................

Do you have the correct code now? I can help if you don't have it.

Hi
this is for another ford now , the radio kept saying error-we didnt know the code
and so we removed another radio from another car thinking the code would be on the top of the radio but it is not...

ive heard that it is possibly the last 4 numbers of the chassy number?
looks like im waiting for the radio to say code
