How it works for Sony

  1. Find the V serial (V + 6 digits) on the radio label, or show it on the display by holding presets 1 and 6.
  2. Type it in the form above – the full Sony serial (SOCD…V384127) works too.
  3. Enter the code with the preset buttons as described in your Ford manual. If the radio shows a waiting time, see locked radio help.

Sony radios use the same codes as the Ford V series.

Frequently asked questions

Where is the serial on a Sony Ford radio?

On the label on the radio case. Look for a V followed by 6 digits (for example V384127); on some Sony units it is part of a longer serial such as SOCD123V384127. You can type either.

Can I see the serial without removing the radio?

On many Ford radios you can: switch the radio on, then hold preset buttons 1 and 6 together – the serial (V…) appears on the display.

My Sony radio is not from a Ford.

Aftermarket Sony radios do not use these codes. Use the request form and our team will help.
