Hello mate,

You should have got a little red card in the manual for the car that has the code on it. I had the same problem as you and just took the radio out and went to a car stereo shop. It took them about 5 minutes to put a new code in and tell me what it was. It cost about £10 I think. Alternatively, if you are really stuck you could take the radio to Vauxhall and they will send it away and charge you nearer £30 for decoding it.

BTW, I was once told that you could decode some of the Vauxhall radio's by leaving them in the freezer overnight. I've not tried this so can't comment on whether it would work though.
