Just got a Corsa SRi for eldest and the radio (cd30) has bubbling on the paint from an air freshner !
Thought about spraying it but probs easier to replace it..

It's a 2004 and I believe you either have to get it programmed using Tech II or buy the display with it. My question is are there many variations of "silver" on these units ? The one fitted is a bright silver.  If poss I'd also like to change it for the cd30 mp3 and fit an aux input for the iPod.

Any thoughts or experience of the colour issue

Thanks

Not sure on the colour issue but the aux in and MP3 came in aorund late 2007, there certainly was a bright silver and also an anthracite plus also gloss black off the top of my head.

The units are coded to the display so you either need an unpaired one or know the security code from the source of the CD30.

Also make sure you get one for a Corsa as the Astra H, Zafira B and Vectra C has a slightly different shape front panel.

Is this a Corsa C or D?

There is also a difference between the Astra and Corsa CD30, they will fit but the bezel is different. Also I have resprayed bits of trim and Z147 is a great match    On our Astra anyway.

Thanks guys. It's a Corsa C btw 2004.

The colour certainly looks like star silver so I might take it out and try a spray. Even a sligt cour difference will look better than paint peel.

I cant tell the difference and I had to repaint one of the steering wheel control covers on the Astra. I should add that I did not apply any lacquer as the other parts don't seem to have any.
