Many General Motors vehicles come equipped with radios that require a special security unlock code. This radio code is not required, unless the radio is removed from the vehicle, or the vehicles battery is disconnected.

General Motors radios are quite different from most other manufacturers, as GM allows you to enter your own code. Most manufacturers will come with the radio security code already stored to into its processor.

Never fear however, if the previous owner has entered their unique radio code, as our radio code retrieval process will override any other code that has been entered into the unit!

General Motors calls this feature "TheftLock". Its purpose is to prevent unauthorized users of your radio and will not allow your stereo to operate without the proper code.

General Motors began using the antitheft feature, "TheftLock" around the 1990's and is still used in many GM vehicles.

You will find "TheftLock" radio code feature on most Pontiac, Cadillac, GMC, Chevrolet, Saturn, Geo, Oldsmobile, Hummer and Buick vehicles.

 

Retrieving your GM radio code is simple and quick!

Simply follow the steps below.   


 

 

Step 1 - Determine radio type

CAUTION!
We will not respond to any "General Motors code retrieval" email, without receiving a paid receipt from Pay Pal !

 

 


 The radio must be in LOC mode NOT in INOP mode.
Example . If you have activated the Theft-Deterrent feature of your radio and loose power, the radio goes into LOC (theftlock) mode. With the ignition on, you must use the MN and HR buttons to enter you personal code in order to unlock it. If you fail to enter the correct code eight (8) times, the radio goes into INOP mode. You have to wait an hour with the ignition on before the radio returns to LOC mode procedure:

 

 

1. Turn the ignition ON (The radio displays LOC)

2. Press and hold presets buttons 2 & 3 or 1 & 4 for approximately 10 seconds.

3. The radio display changes from LOC to a three-digit number. Write this number down.

4. Don’t take long, fifteen seconds max before the next step.

5. Press the AM/FM button

6. The radio display changes to another three-digit number. Write this number to the right of the first one.

7. You now have a six or four-digit number, the first three digits are from STEP 3 and the last three digits are from STEP 5

8 If you have a four digit number, it will show all four digits at the same time. Example 4523

 

 

  • Note1: You may have two sets of the same number. Example- (233-233).

  • Note1: Saturn and GEO Vehicles only require a four Digit Serial #

  • The fourth digit will be half the size of the first three digits on Saturn and GEO Vehicles .
