radio codes

[monkeemayhem]

do i have to pay to get a radio code?, my husbands car battery went flat and the radio has blocked, its an s reg vauxhall astra. I will buy another radio before i pay �17.50 to the thieving toerags in our local garage. Can anyone advise me or do i get to buy another radio?! Thanks for any help x

you may find a far cheaper way to gain code on the net , its worth a try.

My local main dealer said that it would cost me �20 for them to get the code but it wasn't worth it as the code would probably not work. Quite a rip-off of customers who have bought their cars by Vauxhall who surely could do it cheaper and as a service to their customers than many places I have found on the net.

There are a few forums where members will provide the code free if you are lucky enough to post when they are about but I have had no luck down this avenue so far. I may as well buy a cheap �50 radio/CD unit to replace the radio/cassette than pay �20 to the main dealer.
