- Procedure to unlock a 2002 - 2008 GM theft lock radio for free. Works on most stereos made by Chevy, GMC, Pontiac, Buick and Cadillac. This is a temporary way to enable a radio without bringing it to a dealer for programming

Very helpfull information,after following your instructions, I had to pull out the fuse, waited about two minutes, and luckily found the 5 digits code written on the manufacture 's car manual, and got my 2000 Honda Odssey back to normal
God bless you that took time for this vídeo
Ok! I was about to cry when you mentioned that I had to go to the dealership... BUT then that RAP!!!!!! That was great!!!! Thanks for the smile and the great info. Will try your trick until I can get the stereo fixed. Thanks. Amanda From MT.
haha thanks, hope you can get it fixed soon
That rap is awesome!! Very catchy, i don't think I'll ever forget this trick
Sick song lol. "Press preset five and the forward seek" toppin' the charts. Love it dude!
Fantastic...... saved me a headache, my 2007 Chev lost it's programming to the radio yesterday... right before a road trip! This work-around worked like a champ.
Lol man your little rap was actually really good! That was unique and totally turned the video around for me whether it works or not this video gets a thumbs up. I got to hear that again
I know this is an old upload.. but thank you .. thank you .. thank you! I now have tunes back in my 02 aztek. Easy peasy just like you said.
this saved me from puting an after market raido in. thank you
Thank you so much!! Your video is the only one that worked!!
That's very clever. I'd like a cd/cassette in my 2001 Tahoe. I remember when cassettes came out, guess that makes me older than dirt! Thank you for posting.
Hello from Canada. I am now a Radio Rap fan. Well done. I used to be Mancini fan.
thanks for the advice I just did the trick on my dad's 2006 Pontiac Montana car radio. everything he says in the video really worked. saved me $195
Lol omg its 1am but I'm going to run to my car to try this right now. Loved the rap!!
Chitown Sha Sha did it work?
Found this video while looking to add an auxiliary port to my 2004, but nice trick to know anyway. And the bonus tunes - Better than the commercialized cap on the radio now. Nice vid!
Do you use some kind of adapter to turn these Class II units on? You show multiple videos of these units working, with the display not dimmed out, and the back lights on. The modification I talk of in my video only lets me turn the radio on, and requires taking a chip off. While the only successful way thus far for me, seems like it massively degrades the radio. Also a very limited amount of these radios even accept this. I'm just looking for another way to turn these on that doesn't damage the radio.
Honestly, I just simply collect GM Stereo decks. These were always the decks that escaped me because I can't do very much with them on a bench as I can with the old Theftlock series previous to these.
Any info would be awesome. I would love to start gathering up more of these Class II head units and adding them to my collection with out having to destroy them.
Question: If the eeprom chip in the old radio is the same as the new radio why can't you just remove the chip from the old original radio and use it to replace
the chip in the new radio? Old chip has the VIN number of the vehicle. Unless the socket for the chip in the new radio is different then it should work
hey jennies your track is great, but i did the sAME press three buttoms but when i start the buick rendezvouz aint work. it works with the truck off but not when i turn the truck on.
Throughout the years the radios have changed, so maybe on yours it only works with the ignition off.
thanks for your video greetings from mexico gto celaya
Thanks Good info (Chevy venture) it really worked for me.
II tried doing every that you said on here to do and my radio still don't come on. have to take out to dealer and get it programmed. unhappy. no tunes.
Love your rap! Also love the video! (:
You put some thought in that fire rap. 😂
It is not working on my Chevy opera 5 2007. Do you have any tricks for it
Man that little dog hesitantly barking in the background of the rap cracked me up
wow mine is a 63 impala and has the original radio and works great thanks. I want your CD double platinum hits
Never ever had to fix ANY radio in my cars....this is our 3rd on this freakin Chevy.......
If you know someone with a decent bi directional scanner, they can do the vin relearn for the radio. the only thing, when I used my snap-on scanner, I had to built a 2006 avalanche with the navigation radio for the radio option to come up. It still worked and that was done on a 2002 chevy s10.
Omg thank you .. Just did and it worked yeses.. Thanks much
Question on switching radios idk if you anything about that but I have an 03 envoy slt xl with a Bose stereo and was looking to swap it into a non Bose 2002 slt envoy for the cassette deck would this work?
So using your method I was able to get the radio to turn on (with no ignition on). However the only functions that worked were volume and tuning knob ( not seek or scan buttons) . pushing the presets didn't do anything. Also the cd player did work. Is this normal if the vin number isn't forced into the radio? I don't want to pay to have the radio programmed if those functions still aren't going to work.
doing it this way, does it retain the presets/last station you were on?
the used dealership i bought my truck at replaced the radio, but they did the mod where you solder the IC instead. i don't really care to much, but my wife does. the radio defaults to 98.1. i'm looking for options, i might go grab a shit radio from a junkyard if it will at least keep the memories. i don't mind having to push 3 buttons to turn the thing on.
might just scrap the whole thing and toss in a cheap walmart radio, but that seems like way more work than it needs to be.
I bought an aftermarket radio on eBay and it does come on for your video. Just fine with the ignition off. However, when I turn on the car it goes back to locked mode. My issue is I have the Bose amplifier in the back. So even if the car is off and I can get the radio to tune and change channels. I can't hear anything because the car accessories needs to be on to hear the speakers but it was worth trying
Mine didn't work. When I plugged the radio up it said "LOCKED". Should I unplug it and try it again. I have an 04 Chevy Venture and I am replacing it with an 04 Yukon radio.
That was a sick rap yo! Why are you on the internet helping people fix their car radios? you need to be on the main stage!!
Heather Todd I'm working on some things, but haven;t hit the big time yet haha.

Ive got a 2002 chevy Monte Carlo delco radio and your idea isnt working. Any ideas? Thank
how long does it typically stay on for after thus method? we talking weeks, months, years?
hi, my radio is stuck with the display showing SCAN Gee-A FM1 also the red light is not glowing any more. What do you think it could be?
Hi, this trick work in the Bose radio of the Chevy Trailblazer 2002?
That part in the middle the tab whats it for ? I was told I can connect an adapter in it for Aux
Would i be able to install an aftermarket head unit without having to take it to a dealership?
awesome! thanks for the info!
I got a 2002 GM radio six cd will this work I got it and I'm aware of the theft lock, I broke the knob on my kia's factory radio and I hate the clock. Thanks for the tips
Ok cool that worked,but the radio stayed on even though the key was turned off & removed....Does that ever change or do I always have to remember to turn the radio off ? Thanks for the info.
radio should turn off when you open the door after removing your key
I have a 2009 chevy cobalt, and the radio is locked, can you help me unlock it? I already tried what you said in this video.
I bought a 2004 Chevy monte Carlo it didn't come the a radio so I found the original one at a junk yard but it's lock the alarm system is disconnected how may I make my reado work
how do it work when you cut on the car
dude, I hope you see this comment: that is very helpful, but holy shit, the rap man, it's awesome! rock on man! thanks
I have a 2002 Monte Carlo SS. Just yesterday my radio stopped dead and showed "LOCKED" What the heck I said .. I tried everything pushed all kinds of buttons.. so I googled 2002 Monte Carlo Radio showing "LOCKED" well it guided me hear,, Well after watching your video I went out to my car and did as you said , I got nothing . I just turned my key on and off . and everything would work windows, radio an things like that , well I got no results . So I thought i'll START the car and try it .. And bingo I had my 200 watt stereo back again ... I was all smiles .. Turned the car off and started it back up again and My 200 WATT Stereo was blasting away playing my favorite Pink Floyd tunes.. THANK YOU Jennies Garage, If it happens again i'll know just what to do to get my music back. You da Man JG. you saved me $150, For people who have tried to change the spark plugs on a 3.8 engine , you can't get to the rear of the 3 plugs by the fire wall, But their is a little trick. leave the car in park , take off the motor mount bolts on the top of the engine push the car forward about a foot, the engine will move just enough from the fire wall to reach the 3 plugs in the back. Change those plugs in the back push the car back and the engine will line up with the motor mounts ,, blot it down and you got your 3 plugs that you think only a special mechanic can do .. Job done.. Hope that helps you's who want to change your plugs .. don't get cheap on your plugs, get the best you can it'll be worth it . that's if your keeping the car.
Thanks a lot for the compliment, glad you got your tunes and saved some money!

I'm SICK of this car now my drivers window HAS to be locked with wedges of wood.one of the cables broke in side the door.. It still runs but it'd getting old to ,2002
Omg!!! The rap at the end 🤣🤣🤣💖
I just try that out and it does work thanks :D
Happy to hear it worked for you!
Very goood! Appreciate the info
worked for me thank you
Just so you guys know, I had this same stereo on my 2000 Impala 3400 and also on my 2001 Impala 3800 so these stereos were used at least since 2000.
It worked but only while the car is off not started and when I go to start it back with the same problem..
Omg it unlocked mine 😊thank you so much
didnt work for me...off to the Stealership tto plunk down 180.00 with NO Guarantee that it will work !................
I bought a radio/cd player for my chevy Colorado on ebay. the directions they gave me didn't work. Your direction worked, but as soon as the key is turned on it locks again. Is that normal? Should I return the radio???
Is this stereo will fit in a 2000 Chevy Malibu ?
I haven't tried the trick yet, but as soon as I heard that track I gave this video an immediate thumbs up. Well done!
IT WORKS FOR MY 03 MONTE CARLO!!...but only when the car is turned off. Once I start the car, it resets and goes back to the "Locked" screen. Thanks though.
thanks for the comment, glad it (kind of) worked for you
Luckily, the mechanic who reprogrammed the BCM called the GMC dealer for the codes and unlocked it at no additional charge.
thanks for the information....the radio did work when i entered ur code...but the radio wont play when the ignition is on...is there a way around that? i want to ride and listen to the radio instead of parking and listenin ....please help.....
I have a 2004 GMC Yukon. The radio turns on but no sound. Is there anything I can do?
I removed the chip and it worked great and unlocked it After a week the display lights quit working ??????
It's so nice of GM to incorporate ransomware into their product.
bastards...............
Started in 2001,programed to the vehicle.I did in one in a 2001 Monte Carlo recently.
Or go to bestbuy or Wal-Mart and spend 45-100 bucks on a stereo and a wireing connector and say screw em. You get more features going aftermarket anyways.
I tried this and it did not work.Now was I supposed to turn the ignition on but not start car and push just the preset 5 and forward seek button ?
Ok it worked but no sound coming out of the speakers the stereo the radio came from has a bose system and my truck has a bose only differents is the original stereo was a 6 disk CD player with no tape deck and the one I'm trying to put in is cd/tape player. Any one have thoughts
I tried that just a day or so ago and YES it worked for about 10 seconds and it locked again. Lmao
so loved the wrap
OMG that song was great!!! Awesome video bro!!
Thanks!
I got a 2007 chevy trailblazer, I turn on key radio is on but its locked up, didnt work for mine
Does this work on a 2007 Chevy Colbalt???
mine worked but when I turn the car on it locks back up and I can't turn it off when cars running
How did u do your bench test to perform the test??
How long will this last? and can you do this everytime you turn the car on.
I've got the same exact radio and it doesn't work. any ideas? thank you
hi i have 2009 car stereo but i have a problem because it lock? can you help me to unlock pls
👏 amazing. Thanks😊
Also important to note that this is not a permanent solution. It will only work while the car is not turned on (assuming you are still using it in your car) and it will shut off when you start your car. Also, it will only allow you to do this 10 times before you need to detach the battery to reset it.
+Coach A. P. Brantley sadly, this only works while the car is off. This is not a fix for using the radio while it is in the car.
+Coach A. P. Brantley I think that is the only way to fix it yes but I have not attempted it
how about security lock out for radio and CD for Chevrolet Caprice 2009,vehicle data mismatch
did you push preset 5, forward seek and the power button? cause thats what he did in the video
How do I do this on my 04 Silverado with stock bose radio
Wow it works love the song
dude ! you gotta a hit 💿 ! tnx for vid , i will try it.
As for the " mental help " comment down below , he cant think " out of the box " like our kind 😂
it worked with the key off but when i stared it up it did not work for me 2002 chevy venture
Venture doesn't take it i Tried it and just nothing this trick only works 50% of the time
Thank you so much
Nice flow!
Okay it worked until I turned the switch to crank it, how do you fix that other than taking it to the dealership? I’ll bust it to pieces first
How do you hook that up to a power supply? Please respond!
This only works when the key is off
No wonder it wasn’t working on mine. Then I saw your comment and tried it and it worked.
Literally mine only works when the car if off
Thank u so much it worked
If you ever get tired of making videos, you can take to the road with your RAP talents! I used to unlock radios all the time when I worked at a Chevy dealer. Unfortunately, I lost the paper that had the phone number and the info I needed to do that. I would have a radio unlocked within 10 minutes!
Sooo tell me what Im doing wrong? I have an 03 GMC and trying to install an 04 with Radio, CD and cassette deck combo like the one demo'd. Naturally the unit is locked. With ignition on, pressing 5 button, seek forward as video shows, I get nothing. Any help?
the current # for gm service is'nt operative as of 24 hours ago..........
How do you have that hooked up to a power supply?
The problem with that is when I turn the ignition on the railroad me the locks out it only works with the car is off
i can not get mine to turn on out side of the car how are you doing this
When i start the car it stoped working !
CONT...
At the Radio screen, select: Module Setup.
At the Module Replacement screen, select the appropriate module to setup.
Press EXIT on the scan tool and cycle the ignition.
i switched to touch screen sound sytem instead of this.....but i cant control through steering button
Whats up i have an 05 cobalt and i just bought an 08 radio from a cobalt at the junk yard i was wondering if u knew how to by pass it ? Need ur help!! I dont wanna pay
U know how to do this on a touchscreen 2007? Turns on a light but says theft lock on the screen
This damn car got me so mad and aggravated. But I heard your rap music and made me crack up laughing thanks for the mood changer hahahahaha
my radio works in my 05 sierra truck, but will it locks if I remove both batteries? I have to remove batteries to repair something
If it is the correct, original radio for the vehicle, you should be able to remove the batteries without causing any trouble with the radio.
Could it work and not be the correct one? Im asking since some oem radio will lock if power is disconnected, even if they are the correct radio for the car. Since this one is coded with the vin number via a chip I guessed it would not lock, but wanted to make sure. If I could prevent it or pull the code prior I would have.
Thank you for your precision on the matter
