Free Ford Transit radio code
Most Transit and Transit Custom vans have a Ford 6000 CD or a Sony CD unit with a V or M serial that the code is calculated from. FreeCarRadioCodes works it out free with a 24-hour wait, or straight away for $5.
Ford Transit
The Transit is the home of the 6000 CD. Most vans from the early 2000s onwards have one, and later Transit and Transit Custom models have the Sony CD or DAB unit. Both show V or M plus six digits on the screen when you hold presets 1 and 6. Older vans may have the 4500 or 5000 RDS unit with the serial on the label.

Where the serial is
Turn the radio on, then press and hold presets 1 and 6 together for a few seconds. The serial appears on the screen as a V or M followed by six digits. If nothing shows, the serial is printed on a label on the side or back of the radio. You'll need to pull the unit out for that one.

Ford Transit · Questions people ask
Is the Transit radio code free for trade vans?
Yes. Fleet van, hire van or your own, the code comes from the radio serial and it is free in 24 hours or $5 right now.
My Transit radio only shows a V number, no code prompt. Why?
That is the serial, showing because you are holding 1 and 6 or because the radio is in its serial screen. Send that number and we work the code out.
Can I fit a second-hand 6000 CD to my Transit?
Yes, and the code for it comes from its own serial. Hold 1 and 6 on the new unit, read the V or M number, and we work the code out from that.
