Hello,
I have a 2nd hand Corsa and I had to change the battery. Now the Vauxhall radio is asking for a security code. I found a bit of paper with a code number on it prefixed with "S" and figured out how to set the number. Then I pressed the "auto search" button and it cleared the number and decremented a part of the display that was saying "10". I tried once more so it's now saying "8".
I'm guessing (as I have no manual for the radio) that I've got 10 attempts to get it right. But the code I have is for the same car - the fax from "Vauxhall Security Data Systems" has the correct chassis number.
Any ideas? I'll try the Vauxhall garage if nobody points out a stupid mistake.
Thanks.
Peter
