How to find your Ford Puma radio serial number
Getting your Puma radio serial is quick. For most 6000 CD and Sony stereos, you can display the serial code directly on screen without removing the unit. If the screen method doesn’t work, pulling the unit reveals the serial label on the back.
Example of a Ford Puma radio display locked and asking for the 4-digit security code.
Example of Ford radio serial number labels found on the back or side of the unit.
Method 1: On-Screen (1 + 6)
Turn on the radio, press and hold buttons 1 and 6 together for 2 seconds. The display will cycle through information until a serial starting with V or M appears (e.g. V062049).
Method 2: On-Screen (2 + 6)
If 1 & 6 doesn’t show the serial, try holding buttons 2 and 6 simultaneously. This is common on older RDS units and some Sony models.
Method 3: Check Casing Sticker
If no serial appears on screen, insert radio release keys into the corner slots to slide the unit forward. The serial number is printed on a white sticker or stamped into the metal case.
Why does your Ford Puma radio lock?
Ford vehicles feature an active anti-theft security system built into the audio equipment. If electrical power to the radio is interrupted—such as when replacing the battery, after a jump-start, or if a fuse blows—the system locks itself automatically.
This is a standard security feature to deter theft. Entering the official 4-digit key code restores full stereo function immediately. Avoid guessing randomly: entering incorrect codes multiple times will cause the radio to display WAIT or enter LOCKED mode.
