    The radio SERIAL NUMBER is required for a code

    First remove the radio (not just the front) from the dashboard.

    Then post the radio make+model plus all the letters+numbers on any labels,barcodes or stamped in the metal casing.

    This information can then be used to see if a code can be calculated

    i don not know how to get it out .........sorry ...arghhhhhhhhh ..please help !!

    if it's anything like mine it'll have a hole in each corner of the radio face, if so you'll need the eject tool.

    HELP NEEDED

    I just purchased a 2003 Vauxhall Astra with a CDR 500 CD Radio which states 'SAFE' I have a radio code but it will not allow me to enter a code following the instructions given.

    I fear the code has been entered too many times previously and is now possibly locked?

    Can this be rectified and if so how?

    Thanks in advance.

    Leave it SWITCHED ON...UNDISTURBED for as long as it takes to automatically reset itself.

    This can take an hour or longer

    ===================================
    Here is a video showing how to remove a standard radio from the dashboard.
    A pair of extractors are required (available from Ebay etc ) but these can be made from 2 pieces of bent, wire coat-hanger or 4 small drills(using the blunt end) or 4 small Allen Keys or 4 small screwdrivers or 4 nails or even 4 darts.

    An assistant is useful to pull the radio out whilst you are releasing the 4 securing clips

    note: on some radios , these 4 holes are protected by 4 small screws. These
    can be unscrewed using the appropriate size of Allen key.
