Just picked up a stock 04 cd player and unfortunatly it was locked. I called the dealership but the service department was closed. Anyone know the going rate for a dealership to unlock the radio? Can it even be done if the radio is not in the truck it was originally installed it? Thanks in advance.

this is really weird ill look into it

 

ever find anything out on this my buddy has the same probvlem

 

wait, locked as in you need the code, or locked as in wrong code too many times?

 

locked as in need a code I did a search and called the number it says but the dealer code I had or whatever is not right

 

yah, u gotta call that number and then enter your vin or something and they give u the code

 

do you have that number or anything because I cant seem to get it to work

 

I think 03+ radios are using a different theft lock system, it doesn't matter if you unplug it or anything, but it knows the VIN of the truck its supposed to be in, if you swap it, it locks up and needs to be unlocked. I don't think the phone number will work for these radios, you need the Tech II to get into the BCM

 

Maybe it will or wont work on that unit. But give it a shot!!

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

02. Hold down the radio preset buttons 2 and 3 for six seconds

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

04. Press the AM/FM button

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

06. You now have a six-digit number, the first three digits are from STEP 03 and the last three digits are form STEP 05


07. Call 1-800-537-5140



08. Press 1 then # (pound). You’ll hear “Invalid Code, try again”

09. Press 139010 then # (pound). You will be asked to enter your four or six digit code followed by the * (star)

10. Enter the number from STEP 6 then * (star)

11. Listen to the four-digit number and write it down. It will be repeated twice

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

13. Use the MN and HR buttons to enter the code from STEP 11

14. Press the AM/FM button. The radio display changes to SEC Your radio is now “un-locked” and usable. The Theft-Deterrent feature is STILL active! If you want to disable it, use the instruction on page 3-27 in your Y2K Owner’s manual. Use the code from STEP 11 instead of your personal code.

 

Thanks it worked!
