    I put a GM navigation radio in my 2006 GMC sierra. Worked great in ACC mode, but when you went to start it "theftlock" appeared on the screen. It took the GM dealer 5 min to unlock it to the tune of $150.00. What a rip.

    Big thanks for this video! I had an 04 LeSabre with a theftlocked radio. My MP808TS didn't have the "setup"option for the LeSabre. I then remembered this video and manually identified the vehicle as an 05 Aztek and used the "setup" option under there. I figured I was worth a shot, and wouldn't you know it worked like a charm to unlock the LeSabre radio!

      It is funny how the only radios with anti-theft stuff are the cheap junk OEM radios. Had a flat battery on my son's 10 year old Nissan that locked the radio, and we didn't have the code. Dealer wanted £55 (Around $80) to give us the code to unlock the radio worth £5 at a push!

    Out of curiosity I tried this w/ a Launch as well. It has a radio section but not a setup option. The Launch does have a few shortcomings but as a backyard mech it was still a good investment though. Alternative is to either pull the lock chip out or if you have a hot air station swapping them should work too to avoid the "config error" msg.

    The way iv done it is to call the dealer and talk to the parts department and give them the serial number on the radio and they could give you the code to unlock it manually, worked for me in some cases,not sure it works for every car.I have the Autel scanner and didn't know this was possible so thanks Eric for the heads up.

  • @Bige4u
    @Bige4u Před 4 lety

    Around 2003 and later, the brand new GM radio eprom chip is blank, once the vehicle is turned on for the first time at the factory, the BCM(body control module) finds the radio, its then programed to the VIN# of the vehicle, therefore "locking" it to that vehicle only. The "data bus" connection to the radio verifies the radio at every vehicle startup and allows it to turn on only if the feedback info from the eprom chip is correct. These high dollar scanners, as seen in this video, can actualy reset the eprom chip back to zero VIN, so when the radio gets installed into a different GM vehicle, within a set number of years of course, along with similar radio wiring connections, once again, the BCM comes into play and reprograms the radio for that vehicle.
