I did this to unlock a radio that I bought to replace the original one in my 2003 Chevy Impala. Worked great for about a week but now none of the display lights on radio come on. Radio still works but can’t sed a thing ??????? Thank you Marty
My radio is a bit different. I have to take off the front cover to see the motherboard. 2012 Chevy traverse. If anyone knows what chip number it is, that’d be great. Thanks in advance
I'm having the same problem with the stereo on my 07 gmc yukon. The board on mine looks different and I can't find any videos here on you tube. If you figure it out, lmk. If I figure it out, I'll post an update.
It didn't work for me in 2020. I finally had to get a replacement on ebay (the correct part number for my car) and had it unlocked at the dealer because the 800 number was no longer in operation. It cost $257.55 including tax. That was $70.00 for diagnosis and $130 for reprogramming - plus shop charges etc.
I tried this on my 2008 impala lt I got the car with no radio purchased a eBay one that was supposed to be unlocked but wasn’t so decided to give this a try after watching and it works perfect now the steering wheel controls everything works perfect. Thanks for the video
Jabo The Mechanic and very simple once I got it open if I can do it after watching your video anyone can do this. Don’t pay dealer prices to fix your radio people
@@kristolquigley1721 no I just used my phone watched video and found the right one. Like month later got a aftermarket radio🤦🏼♂️ and my factory unlocked sitting on shelf
@Tank47225 I gave up on mine. I even swapped the faceplate and everything . Nothing. Kept saying locked. I'm just gonna buy an aftermarket one with a touch screen and sell the one I bought on ebay.
On this video, he opened and closed the door five times. If that doesn't work, I would try doing that multiple more times. Hopefully then it will work. Please let us know if that does it successfully for you.
After market radios do not have this problem. They solve the potential theft problem by providing the radio with a removable face plate. You cannot operate the radio without the faceplate correctly snapped in place. I think GM could have done the same thing if they wanted to. Instead, I hear that they would charge the customer around $150 to quickly reset it. I think they are more interested in making fast bucks, rather than in making the radio theftproof for the car owner.
Can I install the Denali radio to my regular Yukon car, or do I need to program it. Since the Denali radio is a screen that supports GPS, your brother from Fahd from Saudi Arabia
Did this on my 2011 with a 09 radio worked like a charm thanks for the video! If anyone has a different model just look for the one with 8 pins its the only one like it
I got my dads 08 nnbs radio I put in my 2011 nnbs and it’s locked. Do you think the radio is too old? He still has the truck, can I use his vin#? Looks exactly like the radio in this video
Once it works and bypass the vin checkup, do you have to keep opening and closing the door and the ignition every time you get into the car?? Or that unlocks it forever
I found a chip in mine and we took it out. I reinstalled the stereo and tried a number of times of unplugging and replugging in the back plug and I had the radio work for a couple seconds but then it would go back into the locked mode or it would say no Vin locked and I had to do this I did at twenty times and I could not get the radio to stay on any ideas?
I took off the chip and It says no vin so it is the correct chip, but I’ve already turned the key on and off while opening the door at least 15 times any idea ?
@@donaldshane5929 Thats just a pcb reference for the pins, letting the installer know which way to orient the chip. The chip number is on it, and much smaller. All 8 pin eeprom chips are going to say 1485 on the pcb.
So I'm doing this too but my stereo inside is COMPLETELY different. My stereo has the cd player aux and what not. So inside is waaaaay different. Does anyone know what chip I have to remove on that one?? Also in order to see inside I had to take the front face and front cover off. There was no other way of seeing the board. Anyone figure this out?? Truck is a 2012 Chevy silverado single can work truck trim
I tried taking my 09 Malibu radio out and putting in one from a 2012 and found the chip and it says No Vin but never does anything different. I tried with the door open also. It never even showed the CD emblem on the side either and tried it 30-40 times now..
I tried this and after opening the door a few times it will work for a couple seconds then go back into locked mode. Any ideas of what I could be? Is another chip inside or something?
hello, how are you, can you help me? I have a truck just like that and I want to change the stereo for an android screen, what kind of arnedt should I buy?
Thanks for going into detail of how to get at that chip. I have a similar video and just wanted to help others but I realized from the comments it doesn't work for all GM lan radios. Funny thing is the one I got from the junkyard was also from a 2008 year car. Maybe someone out there knows from what years this trick will work for.
I have 2009 Buick Enclave, it has GM AcDelco radio which has the same looking radio but different electronic map inside. I was able to identify the coding chip and I have removed it. The radio asked me for the vin # but it becomes as locked while I was trying to reset it through the key and door process . I tried too many times but none of them worked. I will buy aftermarket radio but never pay GM for reprogramming. People make $10 hour while they charge us $275 for 30 minute job in a high depreciation vehicle!!!!!!!
It’s actually under the CD player. I took apart my whole radio to find it. And it’s 14 58. Right on the CD player. Have to take CD player out to get to it though
Jabo I have a 2009 Chevy traverse one night I pushed the lock button and the next day my radio doesn’t work the radio is on but no sound and the ding ding for my keys just stopped working help if possible
I couldn't find that chip either. My problem or my issue was I had a glitch in my screen and I couldn't see any of the settings. I got another radio stock to replace mine but it was locked. What I finally realize this I could just change the face off of my old radio replacement radio without removing that chip issue and problem solve just needed the faceplate of the replacement plug & Play
Excellent video of the 2 thous and 12 Buick enclave alternate But The tools you use make it way easier It was a big help How about the starter Have you done one of those
Jabo, if i change the fuse in my car, will it lock me out of my radio? The radio is the same make as the one you show there--a Fujitso--from a chevy 2008 equinox.
