You can't get around it. You need the code, either came with the car on a little white card with the logbook or papers etc, OR you need to pay $10-15 from Ford to get it. Just take the car in, they get the VIN and give you the code.

BTW, welcome to the forum.

Cheers,

GK

Make sure you take proof of ownership too if you go to Ford.

It will be a 4 digit code and could be scrawled in some odd place. Mine is written on the drivers sun visor and in the back of the owners manual. I can understand it in the owners manual but who writes on their sun visor?????
