Missing Radio Code???

Hi,

My first post to this n.g.

My old car (rover) is in the garage and it seems to be taking forever - just
another week or two sir! Anyway I've been given a H reg Cavalier to use
while it's being fixed. There's a digital radio/cassette in it but when I
switch it on the display says -C- which I guess means enter the code.
The service pack has no radio code with it and on the long journey to and
from work every day (an hour each way) it's mind numbingly boring. I never
thought I'd miss music so much! I've spent ages trying to enter numerous
numbers hoping to strike it lucky but of course no luck!

I did a google search for radio decode etc and hundreds of sites offering to
unlock my radio for a fee came up. I really don't want to pay for this as
it's only a borrowed car for possibly another 2/3 weeks max. Does anyone
know a way I can do this? If you want to email me privately please take out
the 'nospamthanks' from the email address.

Thankyou,

David

 

AFAIK there is no easyway (ie via key presses) without the original code, or
a can of freezer spray & the lnowledge to take the beasty apart.
if you pop into your local vauxhall dealer & you are lucky, they might just
tell you the number for nowt.
it will be on the system they have.

The only Vauxhall dealer that MAY do it for free is the supplying dealer if
he still has records. All other dealers will have to pay Vauxhall for a
search.

I wonder what unit is in it though? Did the old Cavaliers say -C- when they
needed a code?

The only option is to pay for a code number or a recode
