Is there anyway that I can obtain my security code for my head unit OTHER than going to ford? It's an EB11 and I don't want to change it for those who will make that suggestion :)

thanks!

if its the original unit for the car? ford will supply the code free all you need is the cars vin number..

why not just go to ford??
otherwise no way it can be done.. unless you do a trial and error start from 0000 and go through all the combinations.. you will get it sooner or later.. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Don't they lock up after so many wrong tries (EF/L ones do).

also try having a look in your glovebox manual, sometimes people will write it down there if they've needed it before

yes but if you stop after 3 goes and disconnect power re connect power you have another 3 turns..
imo its a lot of trouble to go to to unlock a factory head unit..

ford will have the code.. thats the easiest way!!!!

if its those AWA security coded ones with the joystick the security codes are set by a number of solder points on the board. unsoldering them bypasses the security coding.
