I just bought a used Opel Meriva (2005) with a simple small display with 2 lines and a blaupunkt radio, model CD30
First line of the display indicates time and second should indicate the radio frequency but it doesn't...
the second lines says clearly: "DISPLAY SAFE"
so i took the car to local Opel Service and they told me that the radio is not the original paired with my display but it is obviously from another car... the said they could not solve the problem with the radio and that i should replace it with one from the aftermarket...
Although i would prefer to keep my radio that matches the design of the interior, I would accept to buy a new one with all the bells and whistles, but i have a doubt whether it will be the solution of the problem because i have read on a forum that if you remove a radio from the car without unpairing it, then the display is blocked. If this is the case, then given the lack of the originally paired radio with the display, and if its presence is necessary to perform the unpair then the problem will remain... i will still have a blocked display and a new radio... I don't know if the local opel service can just unblock the display... they didn't clarified that... infact they didn't mentioned anything about blocked display, they just said: "you can't use the radio with this car because it is not the original one paired, and better buy a new one...
