Hi had screen tech 2 to the car with a after market head unit fitted but could not control the trip menus so today took out the aftermarket head unit and fitted the factory one a cd30 but now the screen shows display safe phone vaux who tech 2 it and asked if it needs a tech 2 again know he said just put in the radio code but I can't do it my radio as never needed a code

SAFE is what it displays when it wants the radio code.

He's right though - you need to put in the code now you've refitted the original radio for it to work.

You'll probably have the code somewhere - either in the handbook, service record, on a little Vauxhall card...

Here you go - from the instruction book:

Switch on the ignition.
Switch off the radio with push button (push the volume knob).
Press the AS button and hold down.
Switch on radio and hold AS control down until confirmation tone is heard.
"CODE" appears in the display, after 3 seconds the number of remaining attempts to enter the CODE numbers appears , e.g. "10---.

Enter CODE number (on car passcard or radio passcard) using the preset controls 1,2,3 and 4

Example: the CODE number is 0 3 6 5
Preset controls display (number pad)
Press control 1 once 0 - - -
Press control 2 four times 0 3 - -
Press control 3 seven times 0 3 6 -
Press control 4 six times 0 3 6 5
Confirm CODE number: if the correct CODE number can be rear from the display, press the AS control until a confirmation tone sounds.

I have the code but it does not tell how to put the code in I have looked in the hand book for the cd30 but it does not tell you

Just had a go at putting the code in but when I hold the as button for 3 seconds and hear a tone I don't get the code message come up only display safe ? So what should I do

Make sure the ignition is on and radio off, then hold as button, then turn radio on while still holding the as button until it beeps.

if its showing "display safe" then its the display that needs pairing to the HU

if the radio needed pairing it would show "radio safe"

on a CD30 you cant put in any codes your self.. you will need tech2.

This code procedure is only for half can bus cars that have stereos such as the CCR2006.

Full canbus cars (that have CD30, CD70, etc) don't require the code to be entered after a power interuption. They are coded to the display unit ad require Tech2 or Opcom to marry together or divorced.
