How to get your Ford Ka radio code by serial number
To retrieve your key code, you need the unique serial number of your audio unit. In many Ford Ka cars, you can display this code directly on the screen without taking the dashboard apart. If the screen shortcut doesn’t display your serial, pulling the unit forward reveals the sticker printed on the metal casing.
Example of a Ford stereo unit showing a V series serial number on label.
Example of a Ford radio removed showing the serial label on the metal casing.
Method 1: Screen Shortcut (1 & 6)
Switch on your Ford Ka radio, then press and hold buttons 1 and 6 together for 2-3 seconds. The screen will scroll through software data and end with your serial number (e.g. V123456).
Method 2: Screen Shortcut (2 & 6)
If 1 & 6 does not work on older 5000 RDS or cassette models, try holding buttons 2 and 6 simultaneously to display the M or V serial number.
Method 3: Rear Casing Label
If the screen method fails, insert Ford radio removal keys into the slot holes on either side of the stereo. Slide the unit out to locate the printed white sticker with your serial number.

Ford Ka radio code FAQ
How do I find my Ford Ka radio serial number on screen?
For Ford Ka models equipped with 6000 CD or 5000 RDS units, press and hold buttons 1 and 6 (or 2 and 6) together. The serial number will scroll across the screen, starting with V or M followed by 6 digits.
What is the difference between Ford Ka V serial and M serial radio codes?
M serial numbers belong to older Ford Ka models, while V serial numbers are found on mid-to-later model stereos. Both V serial and M serial radio codes can be generated instantly online using your serial number.
How do I enter the unlock code into a Ford Ka 6000 CD stereo?
Repeatedly press button 1 for the first digit, button 2 for the second, button 3 for the third, and button 4 for the fourth digit. Once your 4-digit code is shown correctly on the screen, press button 5 to confirm.
What should I do if my Ford Ka radio displays WAIT or LOCKED?
If WAIT is displayed, leave the stereo powered ON for 30 to 60 minutes until the timer resets. If LOCKED appears, holding button 6 may grant final attempts, but entering incorrect codes too many times permanently locks the unit.
