Stereo hell!

[mjc2.2]

Ill cut along story short! last weekend changed fuse on stereo, tried to load code didn't want to know, 3 attempts later 7 safe appears, 1 trip to VX 1 new code, (head unit changed at some point previous to me owning car) tried again still locked out on 7 safe, is there anyone out there who knows how long i have to keep the car running before code will accept
or is it just b@ll@xed? :evil:

Who told you that you need to keep the car running notsure.gif , anyway it is a time thing, you mess it up once you have to wait x amount of time mess it up again and you have to wait x times x if you know what i mean.

Audio manual: switch ignition on, turn radio off,keep AS control depressed and turn the radio on initially "SAFE" will be shown on the display followed by 10---- This indicates number of attempts left to enter the correct code. This is what i followed, upon third attempt and my realizing i had the incorrect code decided to stop, until i got the rite code from VX, radio still wont accept the correct code and continues to show 7 safe and will go no further even though i leave it for varying times. kill me now! notsure.gif

take it back to vauxhall where you got the code from and say the code isnt right and when they say it is say well you go and try it and they should sort it for you

Have you got any joy with you stereo, mine just says SAFE when I turn it on. Is that a trip to vauxhall, I have the code somewhere alledgedly :?

Yes m8! took her in yesterday, 6 hrs later got a call from Vx job done £36 in all,that was delocking stereo and correct code for that unit,mine had locked out on 7 safe! there was a genuine problem with the unit which i really couldn't get to the bottom of at the dealership they seemed quite cagey as usual. If you cant find your security code give your local dealer a call, give them the stereo name ie vdo cdr 500 and the stamped product code on the side of the unit, usually starts with GM, they will then squeeze around £20 out of u, then maybe an hour later they will call u with the code for your unit.

Cheers mate, found my code about an hour ago and managed to get it up and running so saved the money vx would have charged, noticed a bloody flat tyre though :evil:
