IMPORTANT AUDIO
INFORMATION
WARNINGS
Due to technical incompatibility,
recordable (CD-R) and
rewritable (CD-RW) discs may not
function correctly.
These CD radio units will play
compact discs that conform to
the International Red Book standard
audio specification. Copy protected
CDs from some manufacturers do
not conform to this standard and
playback cannot be guaranteed.
Dual format, dual sided discs
(DVD Plus, CD-DVD format),
adopted by the music industry, are
thicker than normal CDs and
consequently playback cannot be
guaranteed in Ford and Sony CD
audio units, and jamming could
occur. Irregular shaped CDs and CDs
with a scratch protection film or self
adhesive labels attached should not
be used. Warranty claims, where this
type of disc is found to be inside an
audio unit returned for repair, will not
be accepted.
All CD units except Sony CD
(but not the 6CD) are designed
to play commercially pressed 12 cm
audio compact discs only. The Sony
CD unit will play 8 cm discs with a
Sony approved adaptor fitted
(CSA-8).
The audio unit may be damaged
if unsuitable items like credit
cards or coins are pushed inside the
CD aperture.

Audio unit overview
SECURITY CODE
Most units incorporate a unique
Keycode security number that must
be entered before the unit will
operate. Normally, the Ford Dealer
does this during the predelivery
inspection.
If the battery is disconnected for any
reason, or the audio unit is removed
from the vehicle, the Keycode must
be re-entered before the unit will
work again.
LOST SECURITY CODE
If you lose the Keycode, contact your
dealer and supply details of your
audio unit along with some proof of
identity. Your Dealer will then obtain
the correct code from Ford Motor
Company.
ENTERING A SECURITY
CODE
If ‘CODE - - - -’, ‘CODE 0000’ or
‘Enter Keycode’ appears in the
display when you switch on the audio
unit, you must enter the Keycode
using the station preset buttons.
Sony CD/6CD Generation 2
1. Press the numbered button
corresponding to the first digit of
your Keycode.
2. Press the numbered button
corresponding to the second digit
of your Keycode. Repeat for digits
3 and 4 in the same way.
3. If you make a mistake entering the
code, you may re-enter the digits
by continuing to select buttons
0-9. The display will advance from
digit position 1 to 4 and then back
again.
4. Ensure the complete Keycode
displayed is correct before
pressing preset button * to
confirm.
Except Sony CD/6CD
Generation 2
1. Press button 1 repeatedly until the
first digit of your Keycode is

INCORRECT SECURITY
CODE
Up to 10 Keycode entry attempts are
allowed with various consequences
if you get it wrong.

Audio system security
The number of attempts is shown in
the display.
•
If the display reverts to ‘CODE’
another entry attempt may be
made immediately.
•
If the display shows ‘WAIT 30’, the
unit will be locked for 30 minutes.
Wait until the timer counts down
to zero. When ‘CODE’ is
displayed, enter the Keycode
again.
•

inoperative and ‘‘LOCKED’ will be
displayed. Contact your local Ford
