Urgent help needed please...

[Rossco701]

Good evening All, I need some help please. I have just bought a Ford Transit Connect 2011. The standard rubber steering wheel was looking sorry for itself so I managed to get hold of a decent leather C Max one. I set about changing it last night using the correct method of disconnecting the battery, leaving it for 20mins etc etc. Here is wear the problem started!!!. The wheel went on swimmingly and looks the dogs N@ts.. I reconnected the battery and look over to the stereo and it’s flashing like a gooden... CODE... Woops looked in the glove box and what do you think is missing, the radio code. I called my local stealer and they want £30... I have to get the radio out and give them the M number which is on the side of the unit. Can anyone tell me how to get the stereo out as it is the bean shaped stereo with a chrome bezel round it. My dash has 3 vents above the unit with the hazard light switch to the right and a blank to the left... I am stumped... any help would be appreciated. Many thanks Ross

Thanks for the reply mate but I can’t see one screw never mind 11.... lolololol

you,ve got 11 spring clips holding that top down and 8 holding the readio panel, so you need to get behind / underneath it and lever up / out without breaking the plastic

So not screws just push tabs. If I do it slowly hopefully nothing will break. Are they just push clips

If you can’t get a code I have a headset with code.
