I typed this earlier so it is a copy and paste answer, but is the complete answer. If no registration document, you need a code company.
If it was an OEM radio that came with the vehicle when new, you can take your registration document to a local dealership and they will look up the code for you.
If it is an aftermarket addition, you will need to pull out the radio out and find the serial number on it. It is on a paper ticket, back or side. Then contact one of the radio code websites who will supply the code for a small fee based on the serial number.
Unfortunately if you're radio's locked you have to take it to a GM dealership to have it unlocked - they have a 1-800 number they can call to get an unlock code, but the call has to come from a dealership rep with a valid dealer code.
On some cars there is a lockout feature on stock radio to prevent theft.If the battery went dead or was disconnected for a period of time the radio locks.Most cars you have to call dealership to get unlock code.Or contact manufacture of radio to obtain code.
If your battery was replaced and the radio lost power then your anti thieft lock was activated. Check your oweners manual under radio and check for a 4 number pass word. Sometimes it is taped to the upper part of the glove box. If yopu do not have the CODE you will need to take the vehicle to the dealership or a repair center and they can give the vin number to a dealership and get the CODE.
if you know the dealership it came from, give them the vin and they should be able to get it for you...otherwise you have to pull the radio out to get the #'s off of it on give the vin and the radio #'s to a volvo dealership or a volvo mechanic.
You have to go to a chevy dealership to have them unlock the radio. They use a special code that will unlock the radio and then allows you to pick a new code. Hope this helps.
I replaced the radio on a similar car with an identical junk-yard radio/cd player. of course it was locked. I went to the dealership and they were nice enough to plug a hand-held computer under the dash and unlocked it for free. Took about 5 min. Hope this helps.
