Opel Radio Code Keying, Serial Recovery & Troubleshooting

NO REMOVAL SHORTCUT

Find Serial Number

On Opel / Vauxhall stereos, locate the 14-character serial number starting with "GM" on the side casing label.

                            Serial Examples:
                            GM0030A1234567, GM0205B7654321, 7612002016
                        

CODE ENTRY

Step-by-Step Code Input

Turn ignition ON, hold the "AS" button while turning on the radio. When "10 ----" displays after a beep, enter code via keys 1-4 and hold "AS" again to validate.

ERROR & LOCKOUT FIX

SAFE / WAIT / LOCKED Solution

If "SAFE" remains on screen, keep the radio and ignition ON for 40-80 minutes to allow the lockout countdown timer to reset.
