they will usually charge you one hours labour, less if it's done as part of a service or similar

Once the rear speakers are enabled does the front/rear fade also activate or does that need turning on seperately.
Is there any other hidden features worth activating whilst we're hooked up?
Cheers

No other ford dealers near me, noticed a few places mention the ids system is used by ford and mazda. Is it worth me trying local mazda garages or will they be using different software specific to mazda?!
Cheers!

Hi ake
It seems that you are very familiar with IDS. I have a 2015 transit custom Limited DCIV. I want to get the rear speakers activated. Problem is I live in Spain and the Spanish dealer is saying they have never done this. They are reluctant to do the change for me. My basic Spanish doesn't help!!
Is there any chance you could give me a step by step guide on to how to do it. I am quite happy to make a PayPal donation for your time as I realise that this is kind of your line of work.
Many thanks in advance
Spencer

Thank you sooo much for this. I was able to translate it to the Ford MotorCraft dealer here and they did it for me. Charged me 37 Euros which I dont think is too bad.
