    Can somebody help me with the code on this unit I removed from an Astra please. Vauxhall want £28 for a car pass (assuming it is still the same radio from the factory!)!
    Details are:
    Siemens VDO 330886636
    No: 24 469 305
    Model: CDR 500 (E)
    Serial Number: GM050031930530
    Any help with the 4-digit code would be greatly appreciated.
    @RegWorts - You replied on Legija's Unlock Forum that I'm unlikely to find the code free or cheap online & may have to decode the unit or bite the bullet & pay the Vauxhall main dealer price. Is it worth still trying to find a Vauxhall radio code database, or ask on other similar forums online, or am I just wasting my time?
    Do you really think I will give a different answer here about obtaining a code for a VDO CDR500E using the Serial Number?

    Main Dealer , Radio Decoding Service or buy a replacement radio with a working code are the only solutions ...and unlikely to be free or cheap anywhere on the Internet.

    A local Decoding Service is perhaps the best option as you will end up with a guaranteed working radio usually for around £20
  • Thanks RegWorts, that's really good of you, your help is much appreciated.:T
  • Hi, can anyone provide me with a code for my 6000 CD stereo.

    Also quote the SECURITY NUMBER. This is found on a label on the metal casing in the format TOA123 or TA123 or just A123 at the end of a barcode

    If in doubt post ALL the letters+numbers on any labels or barcodes

  • hi peeps just thought id give you a follow up on my previous request for a code on a ford smax,which is a V code.and as said on here its a closed shop for the info.
    my local dealer wanted £15 to take the stereo out to get the serial number and generate the code.
    local stereo shop wanted in excess of £45 for the same thing:think::naughty:
    original dealer which were miles away from me were basically said the same as my local dealer.
    so after posting on here and various car forums i help run,all to no avail.
    so this morning i decided to change tack,phoned up the supplying and very politely said i had bought the car new and i had to have a new battery fitted over the weekend(that bits true) and now needed the code,LO AND BEHOLD very nice chap kindly said 'lets see' and yep here you go.
    so jobs a gooden F.O.C
    so peeps might be worth changing the way you ask?worked for me.
    oh happy days:beer:
  • :( hello please can some one save me from absolute madness I need a code for my ford transit stereo 400rds M426373 thank you in advance :j
