I would like to know if there is a way to redeem my Ford RDS 6000 cassette player as i have exhausted all 13 attempts to enter a code. I want the code as well to redeem it. I can give the serial numbers if there is a way to redeem it other than to send it away and get it done for a price.
Also could some one tell me if the Ford RDS 3000 a mono player. I bought this off ebay and i hear music only frm the RIght speaker (nearside).
Regards
Arun

TRY that and post your serial number i give you code

If you know the code and unit is at '13' press and hold button 6 for about 10 to 15 seconds and you will be allowed 1 more chance to enter code and only once, for older ford units hold select + man for 1 more try

The official line is - straight from October update of FORD TIS.

1. Drivers door open - leave open.
2. Ign. ON. - Use RED key only.
3. Radio ON.
4. Press and hold presets 1, 3 and 6.
5. Ign. OFF then back ON within 1 second.
6. Release presets 1, 3 and 6.
7. Radio OFF.
8. Ign. OFF.

Repeat the above the same number of times that is showing on the display when you started. i.e: 10 or 13.
Please Note that this method will not work with American FIC sets.

The model is RDS 5000 and not 6000. The serial number is M104239. Please let me know the code and i will try your procedure. Thanks a bunch for your help.
Do you know if the RDS 3000 is a mono or stereo, as i hear music from only one speaker although i have checked the connections.
