Try this...REALLY.....pause no more than 15 secs between steps.......Turn ignition on....loc will appear......Press MN,000 will appear on display........Press MN again to make the last two digits agree with your code......Press HR to make the first one or two digits agree with your code........Press AM-FM after you have confirmed that the code matches your KNOWN(secret)code.....it will now read SEC,indicating that your radio is now operable.....your welcome.

Need instructions to Unlock the LOC on my 05 silverado radio

The dealership is the only place that I know of that can unlock the radio. Unless you find a "use to be" mechanic with the procedure to unlock it. Installing the radio, research goolge, i have seen a website with info for doing that. I dont remember what the site name is, sorry.

My truck's radio displays LOC

The radio is in TheftLoc mode. You must go to the dealer and they can unlock it for you, for a price of course. Unless the code has been written in the owners manual somewhere. It's usually a 4 or 5 digit code.
