  • I'm looking for a downloadable user manual for a Delco CDR 500 radio for a 51 plate Astra.

    Radio ref GM50010321293 If this helps

    Any clues where I can get a downloadable version as I've searched and can't find one anywhere?
  • I know you get 9 or 10 attempts to input the correct code before the radio locks you out.

    I'm down to 7 attempts left to get the right code. Does anyone know how much delay there is after each failed attempt coz I've tried to put another code in and nothing is happening. It now feels like my fingers have gone to sleep.

    I've pushed in AS then turned on the radio, got the beep and then 7 SAFE appears on the radio screen...now do I keep BOTH pressed in or Just AS? I'm getting fed up now, coz I don't have the manual to refer to, and I hate driving without a radio...it's just not what I'm used to!!!

    So, any clues?

    To reset from 7SAFE press ON button and AS Button at the same time .....then leave SWITCHED ON ....UNDISTURBED until it has automatically reset itself. This can take an hour or longer.

    Once it has reset, enter the code , press AS and your radio should now work.
    ........................................................................................
    Code Entry Instructions

    Switch the ignition key ON

    Press and hold AS button and the ON button at the same time

    Display Shows SAFE then goes to 10 - - - - with a "Beep" from the speaker

    Press Preset Button " 1 "repeatedly until the 1st Digit of your Code is displayed
    Press Preset Button " 2" repeatedly until the 2nd Digit of your Code is displayed
    Press Preset Button " 3" repeatedly until the 3rd Digit of your code is displayed
    Press Preset Button " 4" repeatedly until the 4th Digit of your code is displayed

    If the display now shows the correct Code number then

    Press Button AS and hold to Enter and if successful there should be a "Beep" from the speaker and the radio should switch on

    I don`t think there are any free , downloadable manuals for this radio.

    Ebay often have the originals for sale.
  • Brilliant, it works a treat - Thank you so much rodnai :D
