what's going on everyone
Cory fulham your car guy here for
today's video I will be showing you how
to unlock a theft lock Delco radio for
GM vehicles from the mid 90s to the mid
2000s it's pretty much the same thing as
the Chevrolet GMC and Pontiac radios
that look similar to this they both can
be CD or tape players they all have the
same procedure the CD player is equipped
you will know that the theft lock is
enabled if you try to turn on the radio
and it just says LOC on the display and
the radio won't turn on what this means
is it wants you to enter a code in order
to make the radio work now let's go over
the steps part two of four retrieve your
radios serial number now step one
we're sorry step one sorry I didn't mean
Sega step one turn on the ignition turn
the key to accessory mode or on mode now
turn on the radio and press the power
button to turn on the radio and then
you'll see it it says LOC on your radio
display if your radio displays any
functions such as playing a CD cassette
or a radio station your radio is not
locked if no sound is heard you may need
to replace your radio unit and now if
you want to get the code you push the
preset buttons two and three together at
the same time and hold it there for
eight to ten seconds and then the code
should pop up on the display for example
we got our code 822 the one just got
popped up and then you just push the
am/fm button and then you get your
second set of numbers 832 for example
and then write and then write it down
write down 822 after you press the am/fm
button got your second number write down
832 or that that was my number for
example 822 and 8:32
and this is all we need to do at this
point at the radio so next you need to
find a telephone now step one contact
the GM radio hotline once you've found
the telephone call the toll-free number
at the bottom of the screen the number
is 1-800-543-8242 one of the enter or
sorry enter one of the six digit codes
at the bottom of the screen followed by
the star key now what these codes
represent is the GM dealership
identification number that you're
calling from
not just anybody you're supposed to call
this number it's supposed to be a dealer
so these are the dealer codes if one of
them doesn't work hang up and try again
with another one so we'll start out with
radio only enter your division digit
Chevrolet one Pontiac two hopeful build
three Buick four GMC five Cadillac six
Canada seven Saturn with Duncker radios

followed by a dealer code then asterisk
all others into your authorization code
followed by asterisk and then you just
enter the GM dealership identification
number and then press star thank you
enter the four or six digit display code
followed by an asterisk so now you're
going to enter the two sets of three

gentleman on the phone gave you for
