2002 corsa trying to put code in radio but wont power up just saying safecan you please help thank you?

Answer 1

Just did this a week ago on my corsa. Firstly you will need the radio code.(You may be lucky and have the code written on you registration book or have gotten the code on a credit card type piece of paper when you bought the car). When you have the code turn on the ignition on the car until you get all the warning lights( engine oil,brakes etc) then turn on the radio whilst holding the "AS" button on the stereo. The display will change to "10 Code" (I think) with four blank spaces( - - - -) If your code is 8765 then you press the 1 button on the stereo 8 times,the 2 button 7 times,3 button 6 times and the 4 button 5 times. Then press and hold the "AS" button until you hear a beep and hey presto - music. If you put in the wrong code the display changes to " 9 SAFE". You now have 9 chances left to input the correct code and the radio locks for a little longer each time.(Believe me it is better to input the correct code first time). If you haven't got the code you have 2 options I. Bring it to your Opel/Vauxhall dealer with you registration book and they will charge you about £20 to get the code. 2.If you can get the radio out of its housing(there are little extractor wires you can buy in any motor factor for £2- £3), and the code may be written somewhere on the radio. Hope this helps
