Step 2 - Retrieve radio serial#

The radio must be in LOC mode NOT in INOP mode.
Turn the ignition ON (The radio displays LOC).
Press and hold presets buttons 2 & 3 or 1 & 4 for approximately 10 seconds.
The radio display changes from LOC to a three-digit number.
Write this number down.
You will then have fifteen seconds max before the next step must be performed.
Press the AM/FM button.
The radio display changes to another three-digit number.
Write this number to the right of the first one.
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.
If you have a four digit number, it will show all four digits at the same time.
Example 4523.

Note:
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 your 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:

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

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 .

General Motors radio unlock codes

Since 1998, many company's in the automotive industry have relied on our radio unlock code service to get their customers up and running! Now you can get the same great service at radio-code.com! Serving the industry since 1998.

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 personal radio code, 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 use 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 the "TheftLock" radio code feature on most Pontiac, Cadillac, GMC, Chevrolet, Saturn, Geo, Oldsmobile, Hummer and Buick vehicles.
