Has this happened to anyone else? My corsa's standard radio/cd has started to come on at all time's of the day and night when I'm not even in the car! (Corsa 1.2 2004 Design)
After the radio woke my neighbour up by blaring out at 3.30am 2 mornings in a row (I did not play it that loud, and had switched it off before I'd parked earlier), I started to have to disconnect the battery if it was left on the drive for any length of time. Forgot to do this when away over Xmas, and the battery was flat as a pancake on my return do to it switching itself on again!
Also, thought I could remember the code, and failed to put it in correctly on 3 attempts and now will not let me re-enter the actual code (even though the manual says you get 9 attempts before lock down.)
Can only a Vauxhall dealer help since it's the one that came with the car? Getting really annoyed now....! Thanks in advance if anyone else has come across this problem.

where you from mate?
i think you have to have the ignition on for and hour with the radio on and it will let you put the code in again.

Thanks for the advice, J. Will test out the "radio on" theory. Although will still need to disconnect battery before kipping! For time being anyhow.
