Default Re: Ford radio unlock code?

The "89" in the code suggests version release in 1989 (certainly nowhere near 2000!), so Ford dealers might just smile thinly if asked for any decoding advice 30 years on- but I guess there's no harm in trying. The well-known auction site offers lots of decoding services with varying charges (will generally be low for an old Ford-brand radio, though) and varying levels of convincing-ness.

They're not bad units, with good radio sensitivity and features, I had a couple in 3 successive Fords. (Though one suffered leakage of a loudspeaker coupling capacitor, eating through some fine tracks- not too bad a fix.)

Post #2 sounds a good first option.
