    I wonder if anyone can help me, my grandad has purchased a vauxhall cd player and it is locked, does anyone know where I can get an unlock code for free? It is a vdo cdr500 out of a vauxhall astra? Please help!!
    Sorry....your VDO CDR500 code will only be available from the Main Dealer database or the unit will have to be taken into a Radio Decoding Service

    It is unlikely to be available for free or cheap from anywhere on the Internet

    The Vauxhall VDOs ...yes

    But the ones fitted in Renault, Peugeot or Citroen can be calculated
