You need to enter the unique code for your radio that was given to the orig owner. If you do not have that you will need to see the GM dealer.

If you did the web searches looking for instructions on how to unlock the GM "Theftlock" system and they did not work for you, you likely have the "RDS" radio they talk about. Those you can only get unlocked at a dealership.

The wires will be the same. The problem is that the radio you bought may have theftlock on it. ( it would be printed on the front). If so you don't have the code for it. there is a slight chance that it will work, probably 1 in a 100. If it doesn't and the display reads LOC not LOCK, then you can take it to a dealer and they can recode it for you. Costs about 50 dollars here. Indy

The upscale model is the only that i know of that has one. What model do you have?

Hello! You have done half of the work already! You can take the code, and the VIN to your vehicle; and call your local GM dealership. Tell them that you need the unlock code for the radio, and they will ask you for that information.

Also - there are 2 modes to the TheftLock - "LOC" or "SEC" and "INOP". Once the anti-theft is activated, the radio display will show "LOC" or "SEC" - you then have 8 attempts to enter your code. If after 8 attempts you don't enter the correct code, the display will change to "INOP". It is only at this time that you will need to wait one hour, with the ignition ON; before you can retry. After that - you will have only 3 attempts before the radio enters "INOP" mode again.

Hope this helps and good luck!

Dealer has codes...bring car and proof of ownership and they will help you.

You have to go to a dealer and have them reset the password for you. I had the same problem with mine and that's the only way to disengage the security feature. They shouldn't charge you for the service as long as you explain to them what the problem is.
