I've wondered about this for some time. I asked HJ in case he thought there was a risk of us helping radio thieves - but he said that the codes were available online if people cared to look.

In any case Ford radios are no the greatest - hardly worth breaking in and hacking about with the dashboard. Or maybe some one has a quite understandable hate campaign against those ghastly Ford facias that pretend to look like a 1990s mobile phone?
