Locked Radio
 

When I was installing my headers I went to fire up the car but I didn't put the negative back in the battery hard enough and when I went to start up the car it shot out. Not a huge deal because I just screwed it back in but ever since then my head unit say's "LOC" on it. Anyone know how to get it back?

try this, if that doesn't work
1. Press and hold presets 2 and 3 for about 5 to 10 seconds until you
get 3 digits on your display. This is the first 3 of 6 digits you will
need, so write 'em down.

2. After doing step one and writing down the code, immediately press
the
AM/FM button to get the last 3 of the 6 numbers you'll need, and write
'em down. (if you wait too long between steps 1 and 2 and the LOC code
displays again, just start over).

3. Call this number, it's a prerecorded message, so don't worry about
having to talk to anyone...1-800-537-5140. The voice will ask if
you're
calling for Chevy, Pontiac, Cadillac, etc... When you here him tell
you
to press "2" for Pontiac, press 202107 and hit the # key. He'll ask
you
for the 6 digit code that you've written down. Enter that and press
the
* key. He will then give you a code, and the option to get additional
4
digit codes, but one should be sufficient.

4. Follow the normal procedure in your owners manual for unlocking the
radio with your new code...press the hour set button on your radio
until
you get the first two numbers of the code, then press the minute set
button until you've entered the last two numbers. Immediately press
the
AM/FM button once the correct code is entered and the code SEC or
"secured" will be displayed on the display screen. Now, just turn the
radio on, and your ready to roll.

There is an additional step you can take to remove all codes from the
radio and start from scratch by entering your own personalized 4 digit
code so that it won't get you in a pickle again! Just repeat step 4
and
you should get a display screen that reads ---. This means the code is
out, and you can now program your own code. Of course, once you
receive
the 4 digit code from the GM recorded message, just keep it in a safe
place, because you can use that same code again and again should you
have any more problems with it in the future. Good luck, and yes, it
does work.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

I saw it about a month ago, someone on my gp club asked the same question, so it was easy

Ok so I got the six number's off my stereo and I called the number, but when I press 1 for Chevy there's just a black pause, so I tried entering my number's and even the number's listed under number 3 above but it keep's telling me that it's an invalid ac number. What should I do?

Ok after a lot of searching I found the answer. Everywhere I checked they said the exact same thing but I finally found a guy that said the number's aren't 202107 but 02107, the first two is for the Pontiac. So it should say press "2" for Pontiac, then press 02107 so you don't think you have to press "1" for Chevy and then 202107 because that won't work.

Just got done, stere's work's perfectly again!!

YAY!
glad arch could help :p

hey I stole the info from somewhere anyway :lolsign:

i think this should be wrote down somewhere, first time arch couldn't sucessfully help someone. lol. but hey chad why don't you sticky those instructions and numbers for us incase anyone else's radio gets locked.

Arch did help me, I just had to find out to remove the ONE number and that's it.

Let's put a sticky with all the important information you can think of for the audio/video section. I really hate website's that have fifty stickies so if we're going to have them let's actually fill it with information.
