Quick Answers
This usually happens after the radio loses power due to a battery disconnection. The built-in anti-theft system requires the correct security code before the radio can be used again.
Yes. Once you receive the correct radio code, simply enter it using your radio controls. No special tools or professional help are normally needed.
No. In most cases, the radio serial number is all that's needed to retrieve your FIC radio code. The VIN alone cannot pinpoint which radio you have, which is why we ask for the serial instead.
If the radio code doesn't work, first make sure that the serial number was entered correctly and that the code was typed into the radio exactly as provided. If everything is correct and the issue remains, get in touch with us. We'll verify the radio information and find the correct solution. Our money-back guarantee applies if we're unable to provide the correct code.
To retrieve your FIC radio code, you only need your serial number. The VIN is not required in most cases. You can find the serial number on the unit itself.
Instant FIC Radio Code for Ford
FIC supplied a range of the factory radios used in Ford models, including CDR-4600 and CDR-4610 CD units and the CS, MD and RD series head units. Each carries a serial number on the case label, and the Ford anti-theft code is calculated from that serial rather than from the vehicle VIN. The serial has to be read from the unit before the code can be worked out.
After a flat or disconnected battery, a FIC-built Ford radio locks and shows CODE or ENTER CODE, and after several failed attempts it displays the familiar Ford LOCKED hold-time prompt. This is standard factory anti-theft protection, not a hardware fault. Read the serial number from your Ford unit, enter it here and retrieve the correct unlock code online.
If your FIC radio in a Ford is displaying LOCKED, you're not alone. This usually happens after servicing the vehicle.
Our online radio code service allows you to get the correct security code using only your radio identification number.
Forget about scheduling a dealership appointment. In most cases, your unlock code can be delivered within a very short time, allowing you to restore your audio system quickly.

Below are the typical situations that can trigger this protection.
Low Battery Voltage
Removing the Factory Radio
Replacing the Vehicle Battery
Vehicle Electrical Work
Help & FAQs
Yes. Our ordering process uses secure payment methods, and your radio details are used solely to retrieve the correct unlock code for your device.
The security code remains the same for the radio throughout its lifetime. Should it lose power again later, you simply enter that same code.
Not necessarily. Radio suppliers often vary depending on the market. The quickest check is the maker's label or the serial number on the unit itself.
In some cases, the security code may already be available in your vehicle documentation if it was recorded by the previous owner or supplied with the vehicle.
If the code is not available, it usually needs to be generated using the radio serial number, which typically requires a professional lookup service.
The serial number may be printed on a label attached to the radio, depending on the model.
If the unit will not show it on screen, the radio may have to come out so you can read the label.
Once the correct security code has been entered successfully, it is normally stored in the radio's memory.
The code will only be requested again if the radio loses power.
