Re: Procedure to unlock the radio
Check the owners manual.
If you are the first person to ever have that radio and you never turned on the feature, it should not be on. otherwise you can just through the procedure above...

Did they change the secret handshake for 05? I'd really like to avoid dealing with the stealership if I can. TIA, Lob Update: So the problem with the replacement unit is that it's an RDS radio. If you look at any of the popular "unlock code" websites, you'll see a note somewhere that says "We can NOT unlock RDS radios". One even has a picture of my radio with the words "...like this one." On a brighter note, I found a post by a guy who did this to his pontiac and found that if you connect the Class 2 bus wire to ground, the radio works. Will let you know...if I can find out which wire in the connector is the Class 2 bus wire.

Re: Procedure to unlock the radio
Well...the radio is in, and working. There is no seperate feed for the Class 2 data. It comes in over the orange power wires to the chassis.
If you look at the plug, there are 11 wires. 8 are speakers, one is ground, and the two orange are power and accessory (keep memory alive). So the decision was between running seperate power wires to the fuse box and doing without the safety chimes (swapping the old radio back in once a year for inspection time) or paying the dealer to reprogram the truck's BCM. This requires a Tech II programmer. Turns out the radio I installed (from a Tahoe) was never a "legal" option on this truck, so we had to try a couple of different things before we ended up with the right option codes to make it work. Final bill from the dealer: $36.25 Took about a half hour. Would have been done sooner, but had to do it twice to get the right option codes. Lob

Re: Procedure to unlock the radio
Quickie method did not work, swapping out to a CD/Casette/AM/FM with RDS.
Shows CAL ERR then LOCKED. |

I just replaced my battery and used the steps outlined here. Thanks for posting the instructions. It's a lot easier and quicker than taking it to the dealer.
(I don't imagine a thief would be able to find this info, would they? Kinda' ruins the theft loc feature. ) |

Re: Procedure to unlock the radio
The "GM Unlock Procedures" seen all over the internet only work up to year 2000. 2001 (mostly) and newer, GM coded the VIN into the radio so it knows what car it is in. Dealer has to reprogram if you move it to a new car. If in same car after power removed and re-applied, it should be OK.
