Hi there,
Just changed the battery in my Zafira, hence now I need the code, it would be great if you're able to help me out.
Siemens VDO Type CDR 500
These are all the codes I can see on the reverse of the detachable plate:
PA6-GF15
GM 13 107 918
I've looked for a serial number as mentioned in several other posts, but cannot seem to locate this. If this is what is required can you kindly point me in the direction of where I might find it - does the entire unit need to be removed?
Thanks in advance and regards, Lisa0 -

It usually begins with M or V followed by SIX digits ...such as M654321 or V654321
Sometimes pressing buttons 6 & 1 together or 6 & 2 will display this number....but not in your case?
Otherwise remove the radio from the dashboard and post the SERIAL NUMBER found on a label on the casing0
