    Did you try the owners manual? - if you have it. Sometimes written there on a card which is meant to be torn out and kept seperately when car is new.

    Look for it in your vehicle handbook and if you can't find it anywhere then go to a dealer with the chassis number and reg number and they will give you the code. Don't take any sh!t from them-you're entitled to the code as it belongs to the car and they shouldn't charge you for this service. You will need proof of ownership of course so bring ID and the Licencing certificate etc.

    Alternatively, google for "radio code" and there are some forums where guys will generate a code for you if you give them the RADIO serial number (not your vehicle chassis number!). Some radios will not allow this but many will.

    as said if you find out the main dealer who sold the car originally they will have it on file. other dealers will usually charge to find it as the have to get the information from opel's channel 21 database and afaik dealers are charged for this. check the backing plates etc for the original dealer and pm me if its a dublin one, i may be able to help you.

    you can get any opel garage to look it up for you. Just give them the reg and chassis number usually and if it's the original spec radio then they will tell you the code for it. done over the phone, simple as that..
