Some dealers charge for this service and others do not. It depends on you relationship with the dealer. There are a few places on the net that provide this service for about $40.00, do a search on "Theft Lock".
One other way to get the radio unlocked is to send it back to the original owner and have that person install it in the original vehicle and dissable the "Theft Lock" feature.

Good luck
