    Need a code for Vauxhall astra '03 siemens vdo cdr 500

    Serial GM050031809333

    Thanks in advance :)
    Sorry....your 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

    try code 7115

    Cheers Regworts, but that code didn't work.
    I think I may have got the wrong serial number.

    I looked for a way to find the radios serial no without removing the radio itself, as I don't have the tools for that and found a number, but obviously not the right one.

    Is there any way I can find the serial number out without removing the unit?

    Many thanks

    FORD CODES ONLY! -- we need the ( correct ) serial number to get the code -- if you need your serial number then some radios you can press the preset buttons -- 1&6 or 2&6 -- & it may display the serial number if not then the radio will have to come out from the dashboard ( a vidio on you-tube can show you how ) on the casing of the radio is a label with the serial number on it for that radio ( see photo on the left eg M123456 or V123456 one letter & six numbers ) if its a M serial just post it, BUT IF ITS A "V serial" then its not free as V codes are done by the FORD data base if you need info on poss best sites please ask by posting here & a message will go on your private messages on the header at the top of the page --- or take a look on e-bay I will send a message !
    chirpy33 please read above
    TO ENTER CODE - press station preset button 1 repeatedly for 1st diget of your keycode - repeat the same on - 2 for 2nd - 3 for 3rd - 4 for 4th - & if the display then shows the correct keycode number press preset button 5 to enter - photo shows radio extractor keys & serial number on the radio casing - go to u-tube & see remove ford radio
