Car Radio Unlocking

  • Hi,

    Can someone help - my student son has just had to remove the battery from his car and guess what? No radio code to reset the Radio.
    Vauxhall want to charge £25 + 2 days wait. I have seen someone on here providing free codes and would be really grateful to get the code for him.

    It is a Delco with a serial number of:

    GM0205Y9059166

    Danziger

    Unfortunately this code does not work - does that mean the radio has been re-coded some time before I bought the vehicle, or is there another code I can try?

    Sorry...try 6152

    Unfortunately Vauxhall/Delco codes require access to the Vauxhall database and there is only a small Delco database that is commercially available..

    If yours is a CDR500(E) or a CDR2005(E) then try emailing

    restoredclassic@aol.com

    to see if they can help

    Mention this forum.

    If not either of these models , then the code will only be available from a Vauxhall Dealer or a Radio Decoding Service

    Hi there,
    My friend has asked me help her with unlocking her car radio. Its a Vauxhall Corsa 'L' plate.
    The radio is quite a old one with a cassette, a Blaupunkt Car 300 and currently says SAFE on the dashboard.
    I understand that she will need a code to unlock it.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks :)
