I need the radio code for ford focus please?

The battery died and when we put the new one in the radio code had gone. And it's not in the book, I got a code generator off the net, but that didn't work. Can anyone help please the radio is a 4000rds serial number M0865550 would be grateful thanks

Check your serial number it has to many digits. There should be only six numbers after the M.

Thanks my other half got the number for me but he says it does have the 0 in front. I was told to ignore that on a generator but it still won't work i tried it with the 0 and without and neither number works.

Should be in your owners manual, it not go to a local Ford dealer and they can get it by VIN.

Please verify your serial number. You only get 10 attempts to enter the right number, before you need to replace it, or pay ford much more than £20 to fix it.

For M865550 the code is 5952 (no leading 0)
For M086555 the code is 3728 (no trailing 0)
For M086550 the code is 8247 (no extra 5)
