Where to find your Vauxhall radio serial

Vauxhall often supplied a Car Pass, a credit card sized document with security details, with the car. If you have it, the radio code may be on it. If not, the radio serial is on the label on the unit, which usually means removing it.

How we handle Vauxhall requests

Retrieved by our team and emailed to youVauxhall and Opel codes linked to Car Pass records cannot be worked out from the serial alone. When you send a request, our team retrieves the code and emails it to you. Timing may vary.

Every request needs your email, accepted terms and an owner statement. This service is for owners restoring their own radio only.

Official Vauxhall options

A Vauxhall dealer can usually retrieve the code with proof of ownership such as the V5C and ID. Some dealers charge for this.

Opel models

Vauxhall and Opel share many radios. If your car was built as an Opel, the same steps apply. Choose Opel on the form so our team knows.

Looking after your Car Pass

The Car Pass holds security information for the car, so keep it at home with your V5C rather than in the glovebox. If you buy a used Vauxhall, ask the seller whether it is included.
