To unlock the radio of a Ford Fiesta after disconnecting the battery, first retrieve the serial code of the radio. Turn on the panel (without starting the engine) and simultaneously press and hold buttons 1 and 6 (or 2 and 6 on some models) for about 20-25 seconds.

Various messages will scroll on the display until a code starting with M or V appears, followed by 6 digits (e.g., M123456 or V123456). At this point, download an app for code generation (search for "Ford radio code recovery" on Play Store or App Store) and enter the serial number in the appropriate field.

The app will return a 4-digit code (e.g., 8500). To enter it on the radio, use the numeric buttons: press button 1 repeatedly until the first digit appears, then button 2 for the second, button 3 for the third, and button 4 for the fourth.

Once the complete code is entered, confirm by holding down button 5 (or the central OK button on some models). The radio will unlock and start working.
