Which Ford Models Use Visteon Radios?
Visteon has supplied original radios for many Ford models over the years.
Depending on the production year and equipment package, some Ford vehicles were equipped with Visteon head units instead of radios produced by other manufacturers.
Below are some of the most common Ford models that may include a Visteon radio from the factory.
| Model | Years | Factory Radio |
|---|---|---|
| Ford Focus (Mk1) | 1998-2004 | Visteon 5000/6000CD |
| Ford Focus (Mk2) | 2004-2011 | Visteon 6000CD |
| Ford Fiesta (Mk5/Mk6) | 2002-2008 | Visteon 4500/6000CD |
| Ford Mondeo (Mk3) | 2000-2007 | Visteon 6000CD |
| Ford Transit (Mk6/Mk7) | 2000-2012 | Visteon 4500/6000CD |
| Ford Ka (Mk1) | 1998-2008 | Visteon 4000/5000 |
| Ford Fusion | 2002-2008 | Visteon 6000CD |
Unlock Your Factory Visteon Radio
Visteon manufactured a large share of Ford's factory radios, including many 6000CD and 4500/5000 series units across Fiesta, Focus, Mondeo, Transit and Puma. You can spot a Visteon unit by the 'V' prefix on its serial number (Ford also uses 'M' on other builds); that serial, read from the label on the radio body, is the only thing needed to work out the code - the VIN is not used.
A Visteon-built Ford radio that has lost power will display 'CODE' or 'ENTER CODE', and after several failed attempts it shows the familiar 'LOCKED 10' or 'LOCKED 13' hold-time message. This is standard Ford anti-theft protection rather than a breakdown - enter your serial number to retrieve the code and clear the lock.
A locked Visteon radio doesn't necessarily mean there's a fault. Most original car stereos include built-in anti-theft protection that requests a security code whenever the battery is disconnected.
If you have the serial number of your stereo, we can help you recover the correct radio code quickly. The process is simple and secure, so you can reactivate your infotainment system without unnecessary delays.
Common Reasons Your Visteon Radio Is Locked
Your Visteon radio doesn't lock without a reason. Whenever the system registers a power interruption, it may request the security code before allowing normal operation.
Below are the most frequent situations that can trigger this protection.
A Flat or Dead Battery
Radio Removal or Replacement
After Installing a New Battery
Electrical Repairs

Easy and fast way to get a code for my radio based on the serial number. Received code in email quickly after ordering it. Worked first time I entered it! Nice not to have to go to manufacturer or a dealer. Thanks guy...

Fast accurate service. The radio code worked the first time I entered it. The website was easy to find and easy to navigate. I am happy to have my radio working so fast. The Chrysler dealer wanted $200 to fix it. Thank Y...

It worked. I was a little worried that this was just a scam, but it did, in fact, get my code. Saved a trip to the dealership.

Questions About Visteon Radio Codes
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 undergoes another power interruption.
First, verify that the serial number was entered correctly and that the code was typed into the radio exactly as provided.
If it still will not unlock, get in touch and we will review the order.
For most Visteon radios, the vehicle identification number alone is not required. The correct unlock code is normally generated using the radio serial number, which uniquely identifies the radio.
Most factory radios temporarily lock after several incorrect attempts. Depending on the manufacturer, you may need to leave the radio powered on for a certain period before another attempt can be made.
The security code remains the same for the radio throughout its lifetime. Any future power loss just means keying in the same code again.
In some cases, the security code may already be available in your glove box 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 serial number, which typically requires a professional lookup service.
