New factory navigation radio won't work

I have a 2004 deville and today I bought a used factory navigation touch screen radio and I installed it into my car and when it came on it said theftlock active. Is there anyway I will be able to use this radio or will I have to go back to my old one? Any help will be appreicated.

I have a 2004 freestar s with a factory am/fm radio. i installed an am/fm/cd radio. it will not recognize cd's in the player. tho original radio has only 1 plug port, the new radio has 2 ports. is the...

is it a new cd/radio ? the wiring is the same for a radio with or with out a cd player , the cd should work once the radio is connected , the other port you mention may be relevent as the original radio was a factory installed , these are usually designed to be useless to be used in other vehicles as a theft deterrent , i would remove the new radio and have a good search in the radio space as there may well be the second connector you require , be very carefull as there are many sharp edges and the apeture is not very large , the second connector , if there, will most likely be taped to another loom so as to keep it away from touching other parts so a good torch and have a search , keep me posted if you wish
