Well that told you,,,its locked out becouse you took the battery off and let the power supply go off to the radio,, then you must have tryed to push the buttons to get the radio to work again well you only get three go's at putting in the right coad before the radio "locks you out!" now you need to see the main dealer to get the unlock coad for your radio,,, when they give you the right coad keep it safe,, every time you take off the battery you will need to re-coad the radio

Radio in 2003 GMC Yukon isn't working

Even though it doesn't say locked, it probably is. Check your driver's manual to see how to reset it.

Just bought a used truck it is a 1995 full size chevrolet it has a theft lock radio but does not work,the radio will not show any display not loc r lock there is a button u push it will show u the time...

If the clock will display for a few seconds that means it,(the clock) has power, and perhaps the entire unit. However, if the anti-theft is engaged, a dealer will be in your future. It will take them about a minute to un-lock the radio, or they will know if the radio no longer works.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
You must have the security anti-theft code for your VW radio from the car manufacturer, or from a VW dealer!


You can find the radio code at: http://www.radio-code.co.uk/

The sequence of VW radio gamma programming is:
1. Push simultaneous "SCAN" and "RDS" keys until on the screen will appear "1000" displayed.
2. Release keys. No more push on "SCAN" and "RDS" keys because otherwise number "1000" will be considered as first safe code attempt.
For example: we have the security code "5079". Then:
3. By the no.# 1 key you will set up the first safe code digit. Push 5 times on the no.# 1 button. The "5" number will be setted.
4. By the no.# 2 key you will set up the second safe code digit. Push 10 times on the no.# 2 button. The "0" number will be setted.
5. By the no.# 3 key you will set up the third safe code digit. Push 7 times on the no.# 3 button. The "7" number will be setted.
6. By the no.# 4 key you will set up the four-th safe code digit. Push 9 times on the no.# 4 button. The "9" number will be setted.
7. Then push again simultaneous "SCAN" and "RDS" keys for confirm this safe code. On the screen will be displayed "SAFE" notice. Release keys! For few seconds a radio frequence will be displayed.

The radio is now ready for use!

I just bought a 2004 Cadillac CTS without navagation and can not figure out how to set the clock. Owner's manual doesn't offer solution.

This worked on my 04 CTS. This is a CTS without the GPS.

1) Turn key to On or Accy
2) Wait for the radio/clock display to load up.
3) Push the Tune/Select button at the lower right of the radio display. Nothing will appear to change.
4) There is a button to the right of the radio diplay with two horizontal lines on it. Push the lower of the two horizontal lines. The clock set option should appear.
5) Turn the Tune/Select button until the time is correct.
6) Push the Tune/Select button to lock the time in.

Hope this helps.

How do i change the time?

Hello, here is the instructions for setting the clock

RDS Clock Time Broadcasters can choose to send clock time information in the RDS data. This information can be used to update the clock time on the radio. RDS clock time is broadcasted once a minute. To set the clock using RDS clock data perform the following:

• Press and hold the HR and MIN buttons together for two or more seconds to update the time.
• The display will show "UPDATED" after receiving the broadcasted time data. • If the broadcaster is not broadcasting the time data, the radio will display "NO UPDATE" and the time remains unchanged.

if this doesnt work, just simply push and hold the hr and minute buttons to set the time
• Press and hold the HR and MIN buttons together for two or more seconds to update the time. • The display will show "UPDATED" after receiving the broadcasted time data. • If the broadcaster is not broadcasting the time data, the radio will display "NO UPDATE" and the time remains unchanged.
