CD500 Anti-Theft Lock

[daviep87]

Hi all ,
 
I am in the process of retrofitting a CD500 to my Astra GTC and need a little help.

I think I have managed to get it wired up so the controls and screen come up, but it's displaying the anti-theft protection lock, I believe from forums it can be re-programmed? Does anyone know anywhere nearish kent that can do it ?  or do we think Vauxhall might be able to do it? 

It has come out of a scrapped Astra J 2012 plate, going into my 62 plate GTC, replacing my CD400 , I have DAB and USB already and not worried about the navigation and I think the Bluetooth doesn't support A2DP music anyway so not bothered about that so I don't think  I need to re-program the VCI?


Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

David

A dealer wouldn't do this and they wouldn't know how to.

I'm in Bournemouth and there is @jpbroad1970 in kettering.

Thanks , 

@jpbroad1970  I actually passing Kettering next week, but not in my car, I can bring the unit alone? how long does it take to re-programme? and how much do you think it will cost?  

 @Rusty2009 literally just pm'd you the same question ..sorry , looks like its either Kettering or a trip to Bournemouth :  where will the misses want to be taken too haha

If I understand right these need to be programmed in your car. Don't think they can be done out of your vehicle like some.

[Rusty2009]

Yes programmed in the vehicle.

The cost my end would be £70 if it programs up without VCI.
If a VCI is needed it would mean 2 visits and the cost would be £220.

i would charge the same , would be fingers crossed VCI not needed but not always the case and you cant tell till you do it.

@rusty2009 thanks again for getting my head unit up and running

I think I have to spend more time on the wiring as I seem to have a issue when I turn the music up on a bass heavy track the screen cuts flickers on and off ? But is fine when you turn it down , or there's limited bass 

 I have a parrot system on a harness on there , do you think it's a power problem ?   there's not enough with all the stuff I have going on?  

 I spliced the cable in pin 43 for the screen and to get the fm working ? But now I'm thinking I should use pin 37 for the fm amp ? 

Any ideas are greatly appreciated

More than welcome mate.

Could be a bad display cable.

Power should be an issue but I would advise no fitting factory BT module the units all ready for it.

Pin43 is the correct wire.
