How to Find Your Vauxhall Radio Serial Number
Most Vauxhall radios have the serial number printed on a label attached to the top, side or back of the radio unit. In many cases the radio must be removed slightly from the dashboard to read the label correctly.
Some Vauxhall radios can also show useful information on the display after the unit becomes locked. For example, after entering the wrong code several times, the screen may show a serial or security number that can be used to identify the correct code.
Vauxhall Vivaro and Renault Security Code
Some Vauxhall models use radio systems similar to Renault units. In these cases, the radio may use a security code format similar to the one used on Renault radios.
If your Vivaro radio label shows a security code, serial number, model number or part number, send those details exactly as shown. You can also check our Renault radio code page if your radio looks like a Renault-type unit.
Common Vauxhall Serial Number Examples
Vauxhall radios can use different serial formats depending on the manufacturer and model. Always copy the serial exactly as it appears on the label or screen.

Why Is My Vauxhall Radio Locked?
A Vauxhall radio usually asks for a code after the battery has been disconnected, replaced or completely drained. It can also happen after electrical repairs, radio removal, dashboard work or when a second-hand radio has been fitted.
Important: Do not keep entering random codes. Too many wrong attempts can lock the unit for a longer period and may make the process slower.
How the Process Works
1. Find the Serial
Check the radio label or the display screen for the serial number or security code.
2. Enter Details
Type the serial number into our code search form and submit your request online.
3. Receive Code
Your Vauxhall radio code is sent by email once the details are checked and generated.
How to Enter a Vauxhall Radio Code
Once you receive your Vauxhall radio code, the final step is entering it correctly into the stereo. Most factory Vauxhall and Opel radios such as the Siemens VDO CDR500 use the preset buttons to enter the code.
If your radio displays SAFE or CODE, avoid entering random numbers. Too many incorrect attempts can temporarily lock the radio.
