standard hu

[malibu141]

does any one know if when you take out the standard vauxhall harness if its a harness to goes stright into new hu, or alot of wires? also once youve disconnected the standard hu can it be reconnected and still work?

[the crim]

if you disconect the standard hu and reconect it you will need the radio conde which should be in your service pack if not phone whoever orriginaly supplied the car and they should give you it failing that you will need to take it to vauxhall. the vauxhall wiring harness is an iso fitment so it depends on the sterio but nearly every one comes wit iso adapters so there will be extra wiring but will work

thanx got the car pass but cant find anyradio code on it, the radiotype/code field is empty but got one that says security code would that be it?

[the crim]

dont think so i think it the radio type/code one but there a security code for some programing stuff thats individual to each car like the imobiliser etc

my radio/code aint got nothing there hm think il be having words with vauxhall on monday

the reason why you dont have a radio code is because your Corsa will be a full canBUS car (its an electrical system vauxhall use in their cars, multiplex wiring type thing AFAIK) and so your standard stereo is actually coded to your cars ECU thus no need for a code to enable it if you were to remove/refit, or get a flat battery etc.

as for ISO connections etc. last aftermarket HU I had (Pioneer DEH P70BT) the ISO wiring block end connector on my 97 Astra plugged straight into the back of the HU, pushed the HU into its cage, switched it on and away I went, HTH :)

so if i disconnect it then decide to put it back in the car the car would just reconise it and not ask 4 code?
