unlocking a ford ka radio

looks like somebody has been playing with my radio before i put the code in. can anybody help me to unlock it?:confused5:

What does the display show?

it shoes locked

If it says LOCK10...it can be reset

If it says LOCK13 ..then it can only be reset by your Ford Dealer or a Radio Decoding Service.

If it just says LOCKED then leave it SWITCHED ON...UNDISTURBED for as long as it takes to reset itself

it says locked with 10 in the bottom left hand corner. if i leave the it on for a while will it reset?

leave the unit switched on . it will automatically reset itself

I tried leaving the unit switched on but it didn't automatically reset itself.
The radio switch off after a few minutes if you don't switch the car on.
Please explain the steps to follow to unlock the radio?

Thanks

Remove from the car and connect it to a spare battery on your workbench...then leave it SWITCHED ON ..UNDISTURBED for as long as it takes to automatically reset itself
