no, decoding is done through a an onboard chip inside the radio to my knowledge. think its an EEPROM chip.

some vaux units will work if u put them in a freezer for a couple of days, then let them dry out properly, obviously.

i dont suggest you do it though kenyon cos if you put it back in and it blows, you'll be left more out of pocket. Id just pay the £20 and get it decoded. Ill go rip apart my old one now and see if there is an eeprom chip.

if it is the origanal radio that came with the car mate then vauxhall will be able to get you the code think you need your reg and chassis number and they get it from vaux main site
