I just plugged in the factory radio again and its displaying "LOCKED"
anyone know how to unlock it?

 

i think you have to take it to the dealership and have it unlock, there is a code you have to put in, and if you dont know it, i think your S.O.L
i may be wrong but i think i remember something about if you unplug the radio you needed to make sure it wasnt in anti theft mode.
i do believe that is what it is doing.

 

It's the anti-theft feature. It happened to me a few times (I wasn't able to disable it) The dealer did it one time and gave me a few codes for the nexxt time. Well those didn't work. Found a guy that'll pull the codes for you if you have your VIN over at www.chevytalk.org

 

i thought thats what it was.
hope you get it figured out Santiago.

there was a post like this a year ago. so there is a way to fix it w/o taking it somewhere. i sent directions to someone in the past and i it worked for him. i forgot where i got them from, but i can find it if you still need it

 

thanks for the replies guys. I called the dealership and told them I replaced my battery and now the radio is locked. They said they can take the lock off for free

 

Here is what worked for me, This should work for you guys also, http://www.regalgs.org/theftlock.htm
