    I had to have my battery changed on saturday in my astra. (2002) model
    When the new battery has been fitted, the radio/cd player has locked on safe mode

    I have the radio code.
    and entered as per instruction the following way

    radio off
    turn ignition on
    hold AS button in as turn radio on
    when released a beep and a number of attempts left and 4 dashes where i can enter the code
    i entered the code using numbers 1 - 4
    followed by AS button
    it never accepted it event though the correct code.

    I tried this a further 2 times. still the same

    It now when I do the above , no longer gives me the option to enter a code, just
    the number of attempts left ( 7) and SAFE
    what can I do ?

    any help very much appreciated

    Press AS button and ON Button together and leave SWITCHED ON...UNDISTURBED for as long as it takes to automatically reset.

    Then enter code

    Press AS

    And it should work.

    Make sure you have the correct code.
    If not sure then post the Serial Number.

    i can help with this one as its the position my mum was in this morning,before you can re enter the code it has to reset and this can take a while you have to leave radio on and the ignition on position 1 for about 20 minites, then an option to enter your code appears after this time, enter code as per instructions and it should work.

    its a pain but for every failed attempt you have to wait longer to reset, hope this helps

    ps: it looks like the code you have is the wrong one, so make sure you have the correct code as you only get 10 attempts at this

    hi regworts, my mum has a problem with her stereo after a battery replacement, its a vauxhal astra and the stereo is a VDO CDR 5OO, I noticed that alot of people with this make cant seem to get their codes from you.

    is it the case that its this model stereo is one you cant get the code for? wanted to check first before removing stereo to get serial number.

    and i wanted to say thanks even if you cant help me, because you are going out of your way to help people and that is refreshing nowadays:T:T

    Sorry....VDO CDR500 codes will only be available from the Main Dealer or the unit will have to be taken into a Radio Decoding Service

    It will not be available for free or cheap from anywhere on the Internet
